Awesome!
Supersized solar farms are sprouting up around the world. Could space be next?
Egypt will soon be home to the world’s largest solar farm, a vast collection of more than 5 million photovoltaic panels. When it’s completed next year, the $4 billion Benban solar park near Aswan will cover an area 10 times bigger than New York’s Central Park and generate up to 1.8 gigawatts of electricity. That’s roughly the output of two nuclear power plants combined.
But Benban probably won’t hold on to its title for long. China may not be far behind and even Japan is talking about putting a large-scale solar farm in space.
