As the global push to replace fossil fuels with clean energy, agrivoltaics have been applied as an alternative in land-constrained Japan. Located in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, this solar plant is one of the agrivoltaics projects, and it was reported by Nikkei BP, one of the largest providers of cutting-edge information, content, and services in Japan.

Japan is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050, however, the country has limited capabilities for renewable energy because of its mountainous terrain. Agrivoltaics offers a promising alternative to help farmers to generate solar electricity while growing crops on the same farmland.
