Япония: Дрон разкрива необятността на Слънчевата електроцентрала в Айкава

Drone footage captured the Aikawa Solar Power Plant, Kanagawa, South of Tokyo, on Sunday. The plant has an output of 1.896 megawatts of energy and began generating power in May 2013. The Aikawa site is one of many solar power plants being built in Japan equipped with battery systems to tackle solar energy's volatility problem. The plants will incorporate the battery systems which will be able to handle the surges in power when the sun is shining, and store the energy during cloudy periods. Power companies have previously cited the volatility of solar energy's supply as a reason to refuse new solar power suppliers, thus halting Japan's progress on its endeavours to increase its use of renewable power.
