Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua angitu ngā kaipūtaiao Hapanihi ki te tuku pūngao ā-waea i roto i tētahi whakatutukitanga ka taea te whakatakoto i te huarahi mō ngā pūnaha pūngao o te rā i te mokowā. I whakamahia e ngā kairangahau a Mitsubishi ngā ngaru moroiti hei tuku i te 1.8 kilowatts o te mana - he nui ki te whakahaere i tētahi kohua hiko - mā te hau me te tika o te pūoko ki tētahi kaiwhiwhi 170ft (55 mita) te tawhiti. Ahakoa he iti noa iho te tawhiti, ka taea e te hangarau i tētahi rā te whakatū i te ara mō te tangata ki te kapo i te nui o te pūngao rā e wātea ana i te mokowā, me te whakamahi i konei i runga i te Whenua. E ai ki ngā kaipūtaiao Hapanihi, kua angitu te tuku pūngao ā-waea i roto i tētahi whakatutukitanga mō ngā pūnaha pūngao ā-ao ā muri ake nei. Ahakoa he iti noa iho te tawhiti, ka taea e te hangarau i tētahi rā te whakatū i te ara mō te tangata ki te kapo i te nui o te pūngao rā e wātea ana i te mokowā, me te whakamahi i konei i runga i te Earth. 'Ko te wā tuatahi tēnei i taea ai e tētahi te tuku i tētahi putanga nui tata ki te rua kilowatts o te mana hiko mā te ngaruiti ki tētahi ūnga iti, mā te whakamahi i tētahi pūrere whakahaere aronga ātaahua,' i kī tētahi kaikorero mō te Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa). Ko te whakamātautau, i tū i Kobe Shipyard & Machinery Works i Nagoya, Japan, ka āwhina i a Jaxa ki te waihanga i tōna pūnaha hiko solar ā-ao e roa nei e tatari ana. He maha nga painga o te whakatipuranga hiko o te ra i roto i te waahi i runga i tana whanaunga i runga i te Ao, ina koa ko te waatea tonu o te kaha, ahakoa te rangi, te waa ranei o te ra. Ahakoa ko ngā amiorangi i hangaia e te tangata, pērā i te International Space Station, kua roa e taea ana te whakamahi i te pūngao o te rā e horoi ana ki runga i a rātou mai i te rā, ko te tuku i taua mana ki raro ki te Ao e taea ai e te tangata te whakamahi, he mea whakaaro pūtaiao. Ko te whakamātautau, i puta i Kobe Shipyard & Machinery Works i Nagoya, Japan, ka awhina i a Jaxa ki te whakaaro i tana punaha hiko o te ra mo te wa roa. I whakamahia e Mitsubishi nga ngaru iti ki te tuku 1.8 kilowatts o te mana - he nui ki te whakahaere i te kohua hiko - na roto i te rangi me te tika o te kaiwhiwhi (matau) 170ft (55 mita) tawhiti. I roto i tētahi kaupapa motuhake, i whakapuakina e tētahi kamupene Hapanihi i te tau kua hipa he mahere ki...
Ko ngā ngaru moroiti e tuku ana i te 1.8 kw o te mana - e ranea ana hei whakahaere i tētahi kohua hiko. I tukuna te mana mā te hau ki tētahi kaiwhiwhi 170ft (55 mita) te tawhiti. Tērā pea ka taea e te hangarau i tētahi rā te whakamahi i te pūngao solar nui e wātea ana i te mokowā. Ko te mahere a Jaxa kia whakaarahia ngā paewhiri me ngā pūwhāiti kohikohi i te marama o te rā ki te 22,300 maero (36,000 km) mai i te Ao.
