Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have been working on testing and unlocking the potential of space-based solar power (SBSP) on the recently launched Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP).
Caltech brings us closer to harvesting energy from space. There could be a different way on collecting and harvesting solar power in the future as Caltech prepares to launch their project this month.
Warwick University has been granted £2.2m to investigate a new type of solar cell material which could be used in space to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
ESA includes space-based solar power in its plans en route to more efficient power management. The campaign toward a sustainable source of energy is already in the books of some companies.
