A microwave power transmission (MPT) demonstration system was assembled to comprehensively emulate the operating mode of MPT in space solar power station (SSPS).
An SBSP system collects solar energy in space, converts that to microwave or optical laser energy, and transmits that energy to the Earth. A ground station receives the energy, converts it to electricity, and
A first-of-its-kind lab demonstration shows how solar power transmission from space could work. The demonstration, carried out by U.K.-based startup Space Solar, tested a special
Owning your solar system is a cost-effective option for millions of Americans, and new models for financing and community solar programs will enable households and communities that
Our research solves the fundamental challenges associated with implementing space solar by integrating ultralight and shape accurate structures with high efficiency photovoltaics and large scale
A space solar power prototype that was launched into orbit in January is operational and has demonstrated its ability to wirelessly transmit power in space and to beam detectable power to
NLR researchers are working with vendors, integrators, and utilities to develop and evaluate photovoltaic (PV) power plants with advanced grid-friendly capabilities.
The concentrator system of the space solar power station (SSPS) has a dimension of km scale, which requires the knowledge of optics, mechanics, thermology, control, and other disciplines.
