Hyogo Prefecture in southern Honshu has almost 40,000 lakes and already hosts nearly half the floating solar capacity of the world''s 100 largest plants. Many plants are small scale, helping the region to kick-start the move to distributed local power generation which the World Economic Forum has identified as the key to transforming the world''s power supply.
Floating photovoltaics (FPV) addresses this issue by installing solar photovoltaics (PV) on bodies of water. Globally, installed FPV is increasing and becoming a viable option for many countries.
Indeed, solar is a land-hungry power generator. One conservative estimate indicates that generating one megawatt (MW) of solar energy will require anywhere between 5 to 10 acres of land.. Another report by NREL suggests that land volume needed will depend on the solar technology used. However, the average land requirement is 3.5 acres/GWh/year in the US.
