New Solar Plants Generate Floating Green Power

1. A rendering from Kyocera of the solar panels on the Yamakura Dam reservoir in Japan. If construction goes as planned, 50,904 panels will float atop the reservoir, generating enough electricity to power almost 5,000 homes.

3. In two years, if construction goes as planned, 50,904 panels will float atop the reservoir, generating an estimated 16,170 megawatt hours annually, enough electricity to power almost 5,000 homes, according to Kyocera, the company building the solar plant.
4. The project, once completed, will be the largest installation of its kind in the world. But floating solar arrays are becoming more popular, with installations already operating in Australia and the United States, and more planned or under construction.
5. The growing interest is driven in part by huge growth in the solar market in recent years as the cost of the technology has dropped quickly.
