Space Solar Power refers to the generation of solar energy from satellites or other structures located in outer space, which capture sunlight without atmospheric interference. This energy is typically converted into electricity and can be transmitted wirelessly to Earth or used in space systems. The concept aims to utilize the abundant solar energy available in space, where sunlight is continuous and more intense than on Earth, to provide a sustainable and potentially limitless energy source. Space Solar Power systems have the potential to address energy demands, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and support various applications in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial settings.
