So already it would still be solar power being used just reflected off of the moon first.
Lunar solar panels.
Also provides some perspective on the cost savings achieved by using extraterrestrial materials in the construction of the satellite.
Electric power generated by a belt of solar cells around the lunar equator could be transmitted and beamed to the earth from the near side of the moon.
Solar power satellite from lunar and asteroidal materials provides an overview of the technological and political developments needed to construct and utilize a multi gigawatt power satellite.
That s right with the help of a lot of exciting research sleepless nights and some of the greatest thinkers in the world sunrun has developed the first ever lunar energy panel systems in the world.
With our patented lunarlight technology your home can absorb tons of lunar energy and convert it into clean renewable power for your home.
The same lunar materials can also be converted into photovoltaic.
The technology has been developed in the 80 s of last century will provide us with an abundance of cheap clean energy.
Silicon dioxide comprising a large component of the lunar rocks and dust can be turned into glass for such a solar thermal system.
