Due to the expectation that Japan will lower its solar feed-in-tariff (FIT) in April and the US punitive tariffs' impacts on China-made solar products, some tier-one Taiwan-based solar cell makers have seen orders rising.
The Japan solar market has been seeing a surge of request due to the expected incentive cut. In the completed, Japan-based firms tended to issue orders to solar firms in Better China but due to consideration of conversion efficiency, trade barriers against China-based firms, and an ongoing territorial dispute between Japan and China, Japan-based firms have been increasing orders to Taiwan-based firms.
