Market Definition

A Space-based solar power system is an energy collection, transmission and distribution hardware that uses satellites as well as ground infrastructure to focus solar radiation energy from the sun using special mirrors and direct the energy to terrestrial rectifying antennas (rectennas) via microwave and laser beams. The received energy can then be used for electricity and power generation for terrestrial uses. The key end users include government, defense and commercial entities that will utilize the novel technique as an alternative to traditional solar energy-based power generation. The technique offers specific advantages over traditional solar panel technologies including day and night operations and higher conversion efficiencies.
