Japan is all-in on making this happen.
It is the kind of move that will set a nation up to lead the way into the energy revolution (and make piles of money when they are providing the technology that displaces the legacy tech). It is honestly the kind of thing Canada would invest in instead of bickering over another pipeline. |
Even at 25% total efficiency you'd be lucky to get 12-15km added in an average sedan during the summer. I just don't see mobility solar ever catching on other than maybe for freight fleets to decrease costs. Even then, it's usually far cheaper to put solar on the warehouse roof for less money and get more power. It's just not an efficient use of money. I still see it as niche
