2011年3月11日的日本地震和海啸引发了关于日本国家能源政策的大量讨论和辩论。这一进程的成果之一是一项新的上网电价（FIT）计划，旨在促进包括光伏（PV）系统在内的可再生能源，该计划于2012年7月1日生效。这项新的激励计划预计将彻底改变日本的光伏市场，该市场历来以住宅光伏应用为主。FIT不仅将推动住宅部门，也将推动非住宅部门，包括日本发电行业的新进入者：兆瓦级光伏电站。加速引进可再生能源不仅对日本能源来源的多样化（为了能源安全）和应对全球变暖（为了环境）很重要，而且对绿色产业的发展（为了经济）也很重要。日本必须通过确定最适合每种能源的监管措施（例如，上网电价补贴）、公共支持和私营部门自愿努力的适当组合，创造有利于扩大日本可再生能源的环境。本文介绍了日本光伏市场的现状；新的上网电价补贴计划及其对光伏市场的影响；以及光伏传播面临的进一步制度、技术和研发挑战。
The Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011 spurred numerous discussions and debates regarding the national energy policy of Japan. One of the outcomes of this process was a new feed-in tariff (FIT) program to promote renewable energy, including photovoltaic (PV) systems, that went into effect on 1 July 2012. This new incentive program is expected to completely change the PV market in Japan, which has historically been dominated by residential PV applications. The FIT will drive not only the residential sector but also the nonresidential sector, including the new entrants to the Japanese power generation business: megawatt-scale PV power plants. Accelerating the introduction of renewable energy is important not only for diversifying Japan's sources of energy (for energy security) and combating global warming (for the environment) but also for the development of green industries (for the economy). It is essential that Japan create an environment conducive to the expansion of renewable energy in Japan by identifying the appropriate mix of regulatory measures (e.g., FITs), public support, and private-sector voluntary efforts best suited to each energy source. This article describes the current status of the PV market in Japan; the new FIT program and its impacts on the PV market; and further institutional, technical, and R&D challenges for PV dissemination.
