Japan's flat land is considerably more with solar panels saturated than that of other major countries
Japan has over 500kW of solar panels installed per square kilometer of flat land. That is nearly double the 243kW in Germany and almost 10 times the 65kW in the United Kingdom. It is more than 10 times the density in China, Spain, France, and India, and over 20 times the density in India and the United States.
