Space-based solar energy (SBSP) is a system for collecting solar energy in space, to meet the increasing demand for energy on Earth. SBSP differs from the usual method of collecting solar energy on Earth. In the collection of solar energy based on the earth, a series of panels are placed on the ground facing the sun, which collects the energy of the sun during the day alone. In SBSP large solar panels are installed in the large satellite that collects all the solar energy present in orbit and emits it to earth. In space, the energy accumulation of the Sun is not affected by the day / night cycle, the climate, the seasonal changes and the filtering effect of Earth's atmospheric gases. An important interest in SBSP comes from the fact that solar panels in the collection can be constantly exposed to a high amount of solar radiation. SBSP offers a complete displacement of fossil, nuclear and biological energy sources. It is the only energy technology that is clean, renewable, constant and capable of supplying energy to virtually any place on Earth.
In outer space there is an uninterrupted availability of large amounts of solar energy in the form of light and heat. Therefore, the use of satellites designed primarily to collect solar energy and transmit it to Earth is being considered. In geosynchronous orbit, ie 36,000 km (22,369 miles), a solar energy satellite (SPS) would be able to cope with the sun for 99% of the time. There is no need for expensive storage devices for when the sun is not in sight. Only a few days on the equinox of spring and autumn the satellite would be in the shade. Unused heat radiates into space. Power can be transmitted to the location where it is needed, it does not have to have to invest in as large as a network.
