Japan's potential for PV Industry within Asian region

Japan is a country specially focused in photovoltaic energy, having high isolation ratio 4.3 to 4.8kWh / (m² day) and great support from the government`s side, planning to develop 53 GW capacity of PV solar power by 2030.

In March 2012 ISOFOTON established ISOFOTON Japan LLC to respond to the needs of an expanding market, developing strategic alliances with local distributors to promote the distribution of panels for the residential market. For industrial use, it concluded partnerships with several system integrators. In November 2012, it partnered with five other companies to jointly invest in installing a mega-solar project (1.344MW) in Ube Techno Park, placed at Yamaguchi Prefecture which has been completed earlier this year and financed as well with the support of Yamaguchi Bank.
