In 2020, the decision of the FIT (Feed-in-Tariff) price of solar power in Japan is confirmed! Government Policy change has great influence on solar energy investment and suppliers of solar power system.

Japan's Ministry of economy and industry announced that the price (FIT unit price) of new "full capacity" solar power generation in 2020 is 12 yen / kWh.

In the future, we should pay more attention to the solar power conditions applicable to FIT price than the reduction of power generation price in 2019.

Need to carefully check FIT whether the devices can be sold in full and those that can't be used (This is the important items that need to be consumed by oneself).

The generation price in 2020 is determined! It starts to decline in 2019.

Less than 10kW	21 JPY/kWh
More than 10kW less than 50kW ※Limit on family consumption	13 JPY/kWh
More than 50kW	12 JPY/kWh

The big change is that "low voltage full volume cases can no longer apply for power sale".

The FIT that can be applied for under low voltage (less than 50KW) are only limited to family consumption of off grid solar power systems for homes.

This modification of FIT means that new low voltage solar power generation is not allowed. At the same time, to a certain extent, this measure also guides us to introduce agricultural solar power generation. In this way, the commercial operation solar power generation, which is inseparable from agriculture, will play a more important role than before in the future expansion of solar power generation scale.

In addition, it has been noticed that a small part of the electricity generated is consumed by one's own house and a large amount of surplus PV solar power is produced.

FIT unit price is cheaper as expected, but the advantage of large scale cases is that the unit price per kilo watt is cheaper.

The focus of profits is same as before, need to pay attention to the rate of return.
