Unlike solar panels on Earth, a solar power plant in space would provide a constant power supply 24/7.

Here’s how it works. CASSIOPeIA is a concept of a space-based solar power plant developed by the U.K.-based International Electric Company. (Image credit: International Electric Company) ...

Could space-based solar power (SBSP) be the ultimate solution to our global energy crisis? As the world struggles to transition to clean, abundant, and reliable energy sources, SBSP emerges as a ...

Designing space-based solar Beaming solar energy from space is not new; telecommunications satellites have been sending microwave signals generated by solar power back to Earth since the 1960s.

British energy company Space Solar announced it successfully tested an in-space assembly method for its upcoming satellites.

“Space-based solar power”, as it’s known, has two huge benefits over traditional methods for tapping into the Sun and the wind. First, putting a sunlight-capturing satellite in space means we wouldn’t ...
