Global solar market get rid of the shadow , usher in spring

In recent years, the solar market is developing at breakneck speed, gradually emerge from a variety of energy sources. Especially in Japan, to the Japanese solar market dismantlement great opportunities for development, Japan also did not waste the opportunity, quickly became one of the world's most active solar market.

Eye-catching performance in Japan

Reports of the Japanese Renewable Energy Foundation (JREF) recently released data show that the second quarter is expected to achieve profitability of solar energy in Japan, but no longer need to rely on government subsidies to support. Due to the continuous development of technology, the cost of solar power generation decreased significantly, which has become the main reason for the solar industry to dominate.

Japan has now become the world's fourth largest market for solar panels, as well as a large number of solar power plants are under construction, including solar power plant in Kato water, as well as $ 11 billion investment, is located in Okayama two large solar power plants projects . Both projects are located in the west of Osaka.

Tomas Kaberger JREF Executive Officer, said:. "Japan's solar industry has reached a mature period, from now on imported fossil fuels will take the place of those trying to protect fossil fuel power plants and nuclear power companies, but is in delaying the solar industry the pace of development, but the vigorous development of this market has been overwhelming. "

Before March next year Japan will have reached 2.4 GW of oil power plant decommissioning, these costly, polluting power plants will be replaced by alternative energy generation, while nuclear power due to strong opposition from the Japanese public road leading to distant restart free period. In such cases, renewable energy generation has more room for development. After closing all domestic nuclear power plants, renewable energy generation capacity in Japan for more than 25 GW, of which 80% came from solar power.

Once the cost of solar power in Japan reached equilibrium income, then Japan will become the country in the last G7 country to achieve profitability of solar power, but also the G20 countries, the first 14 to make solar energy technology to commercialize country.

Analysts pointed out that the solar boom is behind innovation solar panel prices fell sharply and technology. More and more countries turn their attention to solar power, outshining previous years hot shale oil and gas industry.

Wood Mackenzie stated that, as the shale revolution has changed the pattern of the oil and gas industry, like the development of distributed and utility solar energy industry is changing electricity market, and its influence is unmatched by other energy sources. Oil giant Exxon Mobil also said that the pace of development of solar energy market is very alarming, from 2010 to 2040 the market will grow 20 times.
