5 IEA INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEMS PROGRAMME PV PENETRATION: 1.4% Source:IEA PVPS Trends in Photovoltaic Applications, Survey Report of Selected IEA countries between 1992 and 2013(October, 2014)

6 Impact: PV market segment

7 Driver : Feed in Tariff Program Category FY 2013 FITs FY 2014 FITs < 10 kw (residential, excess power) Double Generation < 10 kw with batteries/fuel cells/ gas generator (residential, excess Power) 38 Yen/kWh ( 0.27 /kwh) 10 years 31 Yen/kWh (0.22 /kwh) 10 years 37 Yen/kWh (0.26 /kwh) 10 years 30 Yen/kWh (0.21 /kwh) 10 years 10kW (non-residential) Gross-FIT 36 Yen/kWh (0.26 /kwh) 20 years 32 Yen/kWh (0.23 /kwh) 20 years National subsidy for residential PV system :Terminated in March 2014

10 Ratio of imported PV modules Source: Materials from Optoelectronics Industry and Technology Development Association (OITDA) and Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA), complied by RTS Corporation

11 PV modules suppliers Japanese players: still have strong share in residential PV market Overseas players: non-residential, utility-scale Bankability! is important! OEM approach: SunPower Toshiba, REC Panasonic, etc,.

12 Oversears Japanese Inverter suppliers Residential Commercial Large scale ( 東芝三菱電機産業システム ) ( 山洋電気 ) (Hitachi Applience) ( 日立産機システム ) ( 日立製作所 ) ( ニチコン委託生産 ) (XSOL) ( ウエスト HD) Higher entry barriers due to Japanese grid guideline No market for microinvertes potential is high!

14 Source: METI, compiled by RTS Corporation Trends of project approval As of July: 2014 FIT < 10kW 42 Yen/kWh 38 Yen/kWh 37 Yen/kWh 10kW or more 40 Yen/kWh 36 Yen/kWh 32 Yen/kWh

15 Five utilities suspend responses for grid connection contract - All the utility companies are IOU - conducts integrated business: generation, transmission & distribution - Unbundling bill will be discussed in the diet in 2015 aiming at completing in 2018 to 2020

16 Maximum demand and approved & commissioned capacity * Distribution of approved / start of operation capacity by electric company is partly based on estimation by RTS Corporation Source: Materials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Electricity Supply-Demand Verification Subcommittee
