Amazing revelation about solar energy collected from space

Solar energy collected from any point in space, or from the Moon, has a major advantage over solar energy collected directly from the Earth, because it is available 24 hours a day in all weather conditions. Photo: @ The Brighter Side of News.

Therefore, it could be useful as a solar power supplement at times and places where there is not enough sunlight on Earth. Photo: @The Guardian.

In addition, this technology solution can also be useful in providing energy to disaster areas, places without energy infrastructure, and can be used for military applications on Earth. Photo: @Securities.

While this may sound far-fetched, all the necessary technologies already exist and are constantly evolving, so harvesting solar energy from space and sending it back to Earth is much more feasible. Photo: @ National Geographic.

Indeed, if harnessed on a large scale, solar energy harvested from any point in space, or from the Moon, could be more economically beneficial than solar energy harvested right here on Earth. And this idea has been around for decades until now. Photo: @Sky News.

The April 1941 issue of the American science fiction magazine Astounding Science Fiction featured an article titled "Reason" about a story by Isaac Asimov that detailed a space station transmitting energy in the form of microwaves directly to other planets in space. Photo: @ Science Photo Gallery.

More than 30 years later, NASA engineer Peter Glaser made a major step toward making Isaac Asimov's plot device a reality. Glaser patented a system in 1973 that used solar panels mounted on satellites to convert solar energy into microwaves, then beam that energy back to Earth. Photo: @The US Sun.

Also more than 50 years ago, on June 14, 1969, the famous science magazine Science News also reported that a nearly unlimited supply of electricity could be generated on the surface of the Moon, using giant solar arrays, and then beamed to Earth using lasers. Photo: @ Kratos Defense.

However, currently, there are no solar panels on the Moon, but scientists are still looking for ways to exploit solar energy in space to use as electricity to supply Earth. Photo: @Metro.

A 2012 NASA report proposed a bell-shaped satellite made of photovoltaic cells that could provide solar power to Earth, at a launch cost of around $20 billion. Photo: @ NASA.

China and Japan are also going further, with China planning to launch small solar power stations into the stratosphere in the near future. Photo: @Kondaas Automation.

Meanwhile, Japan is aiming for a 1-gigawatt solar power plant in space by 2030. It could generate the same amount of energy as a conventional nuclear power plant on Earth. Photo: @Illinois News Bureau.

Butterfly-shaped satellites on the Moon could one day collect and transmit “cost-competitive” gigawatts of solar power back to Earth, according to a futuristic study of space-based energy prepared for the European Space Agency (ESA). Photo: @New Scientist.

However, billionaire Elon Musk has made a strong criticism of this. He said that the development of this energy technology will be accompanied by a network of giant satellites in geostationary orbit, so the cost of sending it into space will be higher than the cost of energy collected. In addition, the platforms/stations, satellites, solar power plants in space or the Moon will also emit debris that is dangerous enough for spacecraft. Photo: @Fenice Energy.
