2 GW currently under management.152 German PV installers also are the leading service providers in their home market. In 2010, the top 10 system integrators in Germany were all German-based firms.153 German PV installers deliver some of the lowest installed costs in the world in their home market.154 The industry, however, may face a period of consolidation if projections of German market contraction are accurate.155 Of those top 10 system integrators in Germany in 2010, three have filed for bankruptcy protection, though two of these filings were also related to the equipment side of their businesses.156 As a result of the market conditions in Germany, U.S. project developers and EPC firms are focusing on opportunities outside Germany, despite the significant size of the German market. Japan Japan was the first country to widely deploy PV systems, and was the world’s fifth- largest market in 2012. The current incentive program for PV, a FIT that was implemented in July 2012, is contributing to further market growth. Japanese PV installations increased from 210 MW in calendar year 2007 to 1,559 MW in the first 11 months of the fiscal year ending March 2013. The Japanese market is dominated by residential installations, which accounted for 73 percent of installations during the first 11 months of the fiscal year. There have been many announcements of large projects in the utility sector, but it is unclear if this sector will be as big as expected and if demand in this sector will be sustainable, given Japan’s land constraints. 157 Japan’s PV services market was valued at $3.0 billion in 2011. Japanese equipment makers are strongly positioned in the residential installation market, and there are home builders who install a large number of systems on new homes.158 While domestic manufacturers also provide residential installation services, foreign module suppliers that enter the Japanese residential market typically do so through a local partner, usually either a distributor or installer.159 The nonresidential sector includes participation by some of the same firms as the residential sector, though in this sector firms may contract out the EPC services rather than provide them in-house.160 Project development for the utility market in Japan is highly competitive and is currently dominated by domestic firms, which include subsidiaries of major utilities, PV manufacturers, and trading companies.161 Foreign firms such as Germany-based juwi and 152 Industry representative, interview by USITC staff, Hamburg, Germany, May 15, 2013; data compiled by USITC. 153 IMS Research data cited in GP Joule, “One Stop Solar Solutions,” n.d., 4 (accessed July 9, 2013). 154 IEA, PVPS, Trends in Photovoltaic Applications, 2012, 29. 155 Solar Industry, “Forecast: Many German PV Installers,” February 27, 2013. 156 Q-Cells was subsequently acquired by Korean firm Hanwha.
