Space solar power makes perfect sense once you have sufficient in-space industrial infrastructure available, so that all the actually heavy stuff (structural materials, solar panels, antennas) stuff is manufactured from local (Moon, asteroid) resources & only the most high tech stuff is launched from Earth (electronics, engineers). The space solar arrays on geostationary orbit would get basically 24/7 sunlight with no weather effects & constant thermal environment. On the ground ad the microwave antenna level you get clean electricity to use for whatever, at any time of the day. |
