Biggest Floating Solar Power Plant Built in Hyogo

KASAI, JAPAN - MAY 22: In this aerial image, the world's largest floating solar power plant has been built on Sakasamaike Pond on May 22, 2015 in Kasai, Hyogo, Japan. Nine thousand solar panels, each measuring about 1.7 meters by 1 meter, are spread on resin floats on the surface of the water, which can generate 2.3 megawatts and is capable of producing enough electricity to supply 820 households. The power plant will be operated by an affiliated company of Kyocera Corp. and the electricity generated will be sold to Kansai Electric Power Co. When solar power plants are constructed on water, power-generation capacity can be maintained at a high level as the cooling effect of the water prevents the panels from heating up, officials said.
