Japan domestic solar shipments leap by most in 30 years

摘要

DOMESTIC shipments of solar cells and modules in Japan leapt by their most in at least 30 years last fiscal year as government efforts to spur clean energy after the 2011 Fukushima disaster began to pay off. Local shipments rose to 3,809 megawatts in the 12 months ended March 31 from 1,404 megawatts the previous year, the Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association said on its website. The increase was the largest since 1981 when the figures were compiled forthe first time.
