Solar sharing that shares solar power generation with agriculture are expanding. The solar sharing project needs to get an Agricultural Committee permission of the temporary farmland conversion to install the equipment. On the other hand, because of the lack of experiences of solar sharing, the committee faces difficulties in reviewing the solar sharing business plan in the application. As there are a few empirical research about review processes in the committee, this paper tries to make clear what are crucial considerations in reviewing the farmland conversion application for solar sharing. It is recognized that the feasibility test of the proposed project as an agricultural plan is the most important and that the discussion on it is very rigorous one.
