Abstract

Japan has made concerted public and private sector efforts to develop the solar power generation industry for many years. In fact, companies in Japan had continued making efforts to develop and commercialize solar power generation as an industry for a long time since the oil crisis in the 1970s, supported by a national projectNational project called the Sunshine ProjectSunshine Project. Under these conditions, the sunlight conversion efficiencyConversion efficiency of solar cells improved and a shift toward lower cell and module prices progressed. Japan rose to the top of the world in terms of the volumes of solar cells produced and introduced at theå end of the 1990s. Japan went on to lead the world in terms of the cumulative volume of solar power generation introduced in 1997.
