Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation and Kyocera Corporation have begun construction on the world's largest floating solar power plant on the Yamakura Dam reservoir in Japan , in what has been described as an innovative solution to the country's shortage of flat ground space. The country managed to build up its high-tech, energy-hungry culture with few natural resources, like indigenous coal or gas. The solar plant, which will be operational in one week , will consist of One individual solar modules which are clipped together and pushed out from the side of the lake, meaning heavy machinery is not required during the plant's construction. Kobe has been investing heavily in renewables as it tries to reduce its reliance on imports and the floating solar panels utilise flat space on top of the country's lakes.
