tier1Importing Chinese solar into Japan: FAQ
Procurement, certification, and logistics questions answered.
QWhat JET certification is required?
JET PVm (Japan Electrical Safety & Environment Technology Labs) certification is required for FIT/FIP eligibility. The process takes 4–8 weeks and is performed on representative samples.
QWhy are Japanese CIF prices higher than other Asian markets?
Premium aesthetics (full-black frames, low-glare AR coating), stricter quality acceptance criteria, and lower MOQ per SKU drive higher per-watt pricing — typically $0.13–0.14/W CIF.
