New page

==Overview==
[[space-based solar power|Space-based solar power]] is electrical power which is generated by collecting [[solar energy]] from an installation somewhere in [[Earth orbit]] where [[sunlight]] is both more continuous (minimal "nighttime") and unobstructed by [[atmosphere]].

From that location, the electrical energy must somehow be transmitted to the [[Earth]]'s surface, either via [[wireless power transmission]] or via cable (which would require the construction of a [[space elevator]]). The former is currently the most feasible option, at least for the near term.
