Japanese sunlight collection system to collect 50 kilowatts of juice

Going green takes some effort, but the payback is well worth the price. On that note, some corporations have taken a larger responsibility in going green by reducing the number of plastic used, but others such as Japanese precision instrument maker Mitaka Kohki went the extra mile by offering an array of shiny clover-shaped solar panels on an open field in Mitaka, suburban Tokyo, to be part of a sunlight-collection system that is able to produce up to 50 kilowatts of electricity.
