Space Solar company plans to launch a space solar farm by 2035. The firm aims to harness the sun’s energy directly from space and send it to earth. The project will produce energy that is immune to weather changes and Earth’s atmospheric pressure.
The firm plans to use a large array of mirrors to reflect sunlight onto solar panels. The electricity generated will be converted to microwave or laser energy. This will be transmitted wirelessly to Earth.
However, this concept is facing considerable skepticism. Doubts arise as the project entails huge costs and poses potential risks. Nonetheless, Space Solar is determined to make this a reality.
