Does Japan have a solar PV power plant?

The number of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Japan has been increasing in recent years. Since the introduction of the Feed-in Tariff system in 2012 to promote renewable energy, solar PV power generation, which has a relatively short set-up process, in particular has played a central role (Figure 1).

Who created the solar PV location dataset in Japan?

The authors thank Dr. Kim Ji Yoon and other co-researchers who contributed to create the solar PV location dataset in Japan, and also thank Prof. Kitamoto Asanobu, who is the author of Electrical Japan, and his team for sharing an outstanding database of GIS based power plant information on their web site.

Can solar power power a wind power plant in Japan?

The solar power generated from the rooftop panels will allow the facility to be powered directly by green energy. This wind power plant, located in Matsumae-cho, Matsumae-gun, Hokkaido, started operating in April 2019. The tower measures 94 meters on its own and 148 meters including the blade. The plant boasts 12 of Japan's largest wind turbines.

Are solar power plants safe in Japan?

However, Japan has limited flat land area that is suitable for solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation and a high risk of natural disasters. There is a possibility that some of its newly built solar power plants are located in areas where landslides and floods are likely to occur.
