OverviewHistoryAdvantages and disadvantagesDesignLaunch costsBuilding from spaceSafetyTimeline
Space-based solar power (SBSP or SSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in outer space with solar power satellites (SPS) and distributing it to Earth. Its advantages include a higher collection of energy due to the lack of reflection and absorption by the atmosphere, the possibility of very little night, and a better ability to orient to face the Sun.
