Japan turns abandoned golf courses into solar farms
Original: Japan has no space for solar farms apart from old golf courses
Japan is developing solar farms on former golf courses because the country has little open land available for large-scale renewable energy projects. As golf's popularity declines, closed courses offer large, already-cleared plots suited for solar panels. The approach highlights the challenge of expanding renewable energy in a densely populated country with limited flat, unused space.
Why now: Interest in renewable energy solutions and creative land use as Japan pushes to expand solar capacity
