Chinese researchers have successfully tested a full-system model of a technology that could transmit solar energy from space to Earth in the future.
A model power plant at Xidian University in Shaanxi Province captures sunlight high above the ground and converts it into microwave beams. They are then transmitted over the air to a ground receiving station, where the energy is converted back into electricity. So far, the model only transmits power 55 meters through the air, but the researchers hope that the technology can be developed to transfer power from orbiting solar arrays to Earth.
The benefit of solar energy from space is that it will eliminate the biggest disadvantage — the inability of solar panels to work in the dark, by putting the panels into orbit where they can work continuously, writes Bloomberg.
