Japanese Solar Panels On The Moon

Electric power generated by a belt of solar cells around the lunar equator could be transmitted and beamed to the earth from the near side of the moon.

Japanese solar panels on the moon.

Japanese firm plans 250 mile wide solar panel belt around moon. The disaster at the fukushima nuclear power station has made japan think more seriously about alternative energy and as a result shimizu corporation s crazy plan has been gaining traction. As part of the 2 2 billion project the droids will begin construction of an unmanned base near the south pole of the moon that will be powered by solar panels according to the panel chaired by waseda university president katsuhiko shirai. One japanese company shimizu already has that covered.

The shimizu corporation wants to essentially. A giant solar power station. 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. Of course this idea involves building solar panels on the moon which means we would have people on the moon all the time about six months to a year per person criswell suggests to build and maintain the repair equipment and arrays.

They want to build a so called luna ring. A japanese firm announces its innovative solution to the nation s energy problems a 250 mile wide belt of solar panels on the moon. The shimizu corporation proposes. A japanese firm has come up with the idea of constructing an array of solar cells around the moon s equator to harvest solar energy and beam it back to earth.

They are aiming to apply this wireless power transmission between the earth and the moon. Weighing about 660 pounds the droids will roll on treads and operate within a 60 mile radius of the base. 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. It also means shipping manufacturing equipment up to the moon.
