Solar Ark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Solar Ark, a unique, ark-shaped, solar photovoltaic power generation facility, offers activities to cultivate a better appreciation of solar power generation, and thereby of both ecology and science. This 315-meter-wide, 37-meter-tall facility is located in Gifu Prefecture, in the geographical center of Japan, and can be seen from the JR Tōkaidō bullet train, which runs past on an adjacent railway track.
Stationed at the center of the Solar Ark is the Solar Lab, a museum of solar energy and one of the more unusual museums in the world. A unique, hands-on, outdoor light exhibition was planned for opening in 2005, for the first time in Japan. The Solar Ark is an enterprise partner with the 2005 World Exhibition, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It's one of the biggest solar buildings in the world.
