Space Based Solar Power
[edit]-
Part of the solar energy is lost on its way through the atmosphere by the effects of reflection and absorption.On the right: Space-based solar power systems convert sunlight to microwaves outside the atmosphere, avoiding these losses, and the downtime due to Earth's rotation, experienced by surface installations.
