Space-based solar power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Left : Part of the solar energy is lost on its way through the atmosphere by the effects of reflection and absorption. Right : Space-based solar power systems convert sunlight to microwaves outside the atmosphere, avoiding these losses, and the downtime (and cosine losses , for fixed flat-plate collectors) due to the Earth's rotation. Space-based solar power ( SBSP ) is the concept of collecting solar power in space for use on Earth .
