Im very surprised that Japan is so high up, considering how tiny it is.

How about Germany and the UK?

Because Japan is larger than either.

Its very slightly larger than Germany, but its also very fractured and 50% more densely populated.

The latter seems like all the more reason to have more people per km² buying solar panels, no?

Also, more divided than Germany? How so?

Well it's made up of four distinct islands in a sort of stretched out chain whereas Germany is more a big block of land in the middle of a continent (depending on your preferred definition of what that is).
