Teen solves centuries-old math problem
SAKAI, Japan, June 25 (UPI) -- Several Japanese firms announced a new waterfront solar power project in Sakai City.
Sakai City, Kansai Electric Power Co. Inc. and Sharp Corp. agreed to cooperate on the Sakai City Waterfront Mega Solar Power Generation Plan in Osaka prefecture, Japan.
Under the plan, solar power generation is scheduled for Sakai No. 7-3 District Solar Power Generation Plant with a projected 10 megawatt output and for Sakai Manufacturing Complex Solar Power Generation Facilities with an expected output of 9 megawatts initially and a maximum of 18 megawatts.
The first solar generator will be built by Kansai Electric in Sakai on an industrial waste landfill, and the second will be installed by Sharp and Kansai Electric on Sharp's and other companies' buildings in a business complex.
The two companies are currently working out the details of the running of these solar power facilities. Sharp intends to use thin-film silicon solar modules, which will be produced at the solar cell plant which is scheduled to go online in March 2010.
The two facilities will have a combined output of approximately 28 megawatts, making this one of the world's largest solar power facilities.
