A new quest for land: Malta''s solar farms set to cover
Malta already has around 300,000 solar panels mostly located on rooftops, which generate around 80MW of energy. Since 2015, the applications for solar panels would require 642,000 square metres of land for the farms. This area would include 19,000 sq.m for greenhouses roofed with the solar panels, approved during the past years.
