Japan boosts solar capacity by 885MW in Q3

A total of 885MW new PV capacity was installed in Japan between April and September 2012, equating to the launch of Japan’s FiT.

This was announced by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. 

In September, METI approved a total of 476MW of projects - 338 MW of non-residential projects and 138 MW of residential projects.

"We have seen a fairly good start." The government also noted that not all of the facilities approved will start selling power this fiscal year because of the time needed to build them," said the METI.
