Moon Solar Panels Japan

But in light of tokyo s plans to build a 2 billion robot.

Moon solar panels japan.

Global growth of floating solar power. So much so that one japanese construction firm is campaigning to power the whole earth with solar energy that they will beam down from the moon. The shimizu corporation wants to essentially. Japan plans to turn the moon into one huge solar power plant ever since the disaster at fukushima nuclear power plant japan has been looking to alternatives to nuclear power for their energy needs.

And yes it would look just the way it sounds a ring of solar panels spanning around the moon. The world s first floating solar plant was built in japan in aichi prefecture in central honshu. A giant ring of solar arrays around the moon would collect solar. Japanese construction company shimizu likes to dream big.

The country s many inland lakes and reservoirs are now home to 73 of the world s 100 largest floating solar plants and account for half of those plants 246 megawatts of solar capacity. This artist s illustration shows the luna belt solar power ring station on the moon as envisioned by japan s shimizu corporation. With ongoing battles between the government ministries and solar farm operators the large scale implementation proves to be a struggle. The construction would stretch for 11 000 km 6 800 miles along the moon s equator and would reach 400 km 250 miles in width.

A japanese construction firm is proposing to solve the well documented energy problems facing japan and ultimately the entire planet by turning the moon into a colossal solar power plant. Research from the qian xuesen laboratory of space technology in china shows that solar power generated on the moon can supply future lunar bases with plenty of energy to spare. They want to build a so called luna ring. Big as in ringing the moon with solar panels and beaming the energy to earth.
