Earlier this month, Miyazaki Prefecture began accepting applications from homeowners to receive subsidies for solar power generating systems for the home. They had allocated 70 million yen for that purpose. They anticipated receiving about 700 requests overall. On the first day that applications were accepted, however, they received 365, and a week later had received 840 requests. As a result, the prefecture will add an additional 100 million yen to the subsidies they will provide, more than double the original amount.
