The target wa achieved and a massive and creative project where all houses are equipped with PV systems was launched in two areas of the Tokyo metropolitan region, e.g. 36 PV houses in Matsudo, Chiba, and 35 PV houses in Kasukabe, Saitama.
These projects set a precedent for concentrated installation of residential PV systems, e.g. ‘PV community’, and were given ‘New Energy Award in FY1999’ in Japan.
