Japanese Solar Panels On The Moon

Japanese firm plans 250 mile wide solar panel belt around moon.

Japanese solar panels on the moon.

The shimizu corporation proposes. 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. One japanese company shimizu already has that covered. They want to build a so called luna ring.

The shimizu corporation wants to essentially. 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. A giant solar power station. 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. And yes it would look just the way it sounds a ring of solar panels spanning around the moon. 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. While the wireless power transmission is possible over shorter ranges now a civil engineering firm in japan shimizu is planning to do it on a giant scale.

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. 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. A japanese firm announces its innovative solution to the nation s energy problems a 250 mile wide belt of solar panels on the moon. 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.
