The Japanese House Performance Inspection Association announced on December 4, 2013, that 676 people passed the third photovoltaic consultant test conducted in seven cities nationwide with a pass rate of 51.96 percent.

Photovoltaic power generation systems involve complex and interrelated factors in every phase of purchasing, installation and operation, from economic and technical issues to legal and administrative concerns. The photovoltaic consultant test is designed to objectively certify the expertise of successful examinees in giving advice to consumers with regard to various issues that may take place concerning the introduction of photovoltaic power generation systems. The photovoltaic consultant certificate is a private qualification issued by the Japanese House Performance Inspection Association.

Photovoltaic consultants provide proper advice to consumers primarily when they introduce photovoltaic power generation systems for households, so that the consumers can introduce such systems with a sense of security. They also help consumers smoothly address the problems that may arise after installation.
