The mission is part of a project called OHISAMA (Japanese for Sun), which is on track for launch in 2025.
Japan is gearing up to test its space-based solar power station next year.
An adviser from Japan Space Systems, Koichi Ijichi, shared details about the plans of the mini space-based solar power plant.
It’s the “duck curve” problem. Solar power is providing huge amounts of energy during the day, creating a headache for grid operators.

Forget everything that sci-fi movies told you about robots. Introducing: Adaptable, general purpose robots who can work side-by-side with us on almost any task and in any environment. In other words, friend, not foe.
Named Apollo, this mobile robot is being built by Apptronik to capably complete thousands of tasks, and step into emergency situations that may be too dangerous for humans.
So while robots likely won’t be replacing you, Apollo has been crafted to help make your life easier, and give you more time to focus on what’s really important.
Recycling energy-transition metals from battery, electric vehicles and renewable energy products offers abundant growth potential.
Japan’s upcoming space-based solar power demonstration will beam power to Earth next year.
Cutting-edge research introduces ultra-light, flexible solar cells for sustainable, long-term energy independence.
Now that we can generate clean, renewable energy from the wind and sun, one of the most pressing questions facing the clean energy transition is how to effectively store that energy for future use. For one city in Finland, the answer is a giant underground cavern.
Vantaan Energia has announced that it will construct a massive underground seasonal thermal energy storage facility for the city of Vantaa, the country’s fourth-most-populous municipality. The facility will be twice the size of Madison Square Garden, New Atlas reported.
“The world is undergoing a huge energy transition,” Vantaan Energia CEO Jukka Toivonen said. “Wind and solar power have become vital technologies in the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. The biggest challenge of the energy transition so far has been the inability to store these intermittent forms of energy for later use. Unfortunately, small-scale storage solutions, such as batteries or accumulators, are not sufficient; large, industrial-scale storage solutions are needed.”
Tesla has leaked some details about its elusive new Model 3 Performance ‘Ludicrous’, which is expected to launch any day.
The new Model 3 Performance, which could be named ‘Ludicrous’ based on the badges seen on some prototypes, has been expected to launch any day for over a month.
It was confirmed that the automaker was planning a new performance version of the Model 3 Highland with new badges showing up in the updated Tesla parts catalog.
A couple of solar-sector manufacturers have a powerhouse agreement that reaches a unique benchmark. Thanks to a $400 million, three-year deal between Heliene and Suniva, solar panels and cells will be entirely made in the U.S., a unique combination until now.
Electrek reports that to this point, solar cells — the contraption that turns sunlight into electricity — were imported.
“Heliene is proud to embark on this historic partnership with Suniva at a time when the U.S. is poised to capture a greater share of the global solar market by bolstering domestic manufacturing and onshoring of supply,” Heliene CEO Martin Pochtaruk said in a press release.
Scientists developed a device that combines wind and solar to harvest clean energy more efficiently and create a self-cleaning solar panel.
