Japan is converting disused golf courses into solar farms as the country runs out of open land for large-scale renewable projects. With mountains, farmland and dense cities off-limits, shuttered golf venues offer flat, already-cleared sites near existing infrastructure, making them an increasingly popular choice for solar developers.

Why now: Interest in Japan's land-scarce renewable energy strategy and the unusual reuse of defunct golf courses
