"The Solar Ark is the world's largest solar-power generating structure. Opened in Gifu, Japan on April 2002, this enormous architectural edifice combines the efficiency of a massive photovoltaic power generation system with a state-of-the-art science centre." The Sanyo Solar Ark, a large-scale solar power generation plant, has been created as a symbol of Sanyo's long-term dreams and pursuits to supply the world with renewable clean energy. Its impressive, over 300 meter-long structure looks like an ark embarking toward the future, to embody our message to the 21st century. via burnlab
