WR,
If you covered the parking lots for those fields with panels, you wouldn't need as many fields.
Are you dense? Whether you cover parking lots, or whether you just use open land, it's the same surface area that is required.

That's a LOT of solar panels that needs to be manufactured, just to match the output of one coal-fired power plant. And that's counting PEAK capacity. It's very expensive to manufacture all of those panels.

By the way, one of the links you posted said that you need 10 acres of land to generate one megawatt of solar power. That means to match the generation capacity of one coal-fired power plant (i.e. 1,000 MW, or 1 GW), you need 10,000 acres. That's 5X more land than the 8.3 million square meters that I mentioned (equivalent to 2,000 acres).

Tenchusatsu

P.S. - You seem to be doing nothing but Googling links and blindly posting them without any consideration as to the facts I provide.
