In 2006 Japan was a leader in Solar with 20% of the world market. Japan shrunk 12% in 2007 and we estimate a decline of more than 20% in 2008 to 200MW. Perhaps in 2009 Japan will stimulate the domestic market.
Certainly Japan is a leader in production of modules (Sanyo and Kyocera), as well as two of the incumbent silicon makers (Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Tokuyama).
