how much land is required for solar panels compared to land for a coal fired power station?

how much land is required for solar panels compared to land for a coal fired power station

If it has to be a centralized power station, then I’m sure the solar plant takes more area, but that’s not an entirely fair line of thinking.

The coal plant must have a rail line running into it to supply the coal. The total area taken up by the rail corridor could be significant.

Also, in my opinion, solar’s best application is small, distributed generation. In other words, panels on every roof. This is area that is generally not otherwise used, so one might say there is zero additional area is requried. No land to buy, no environmental impact statements, etc.
