How can we reduce exploitation of resources on earth? Solar power generation.

Solar technology is a sustainable, safe, and clean way of harvesting energy—but it’s only collected during daylight hours and is often at the mercy of the weather. One solution? Harvest solar energy from space.

The solar energy available in space could make a significant contribution to the world’s electricity requirements. 

The demand for electricity is likely to outpace production in the next few decades. It is therefore necessary to look for ways to generate more power, preferably in the form of clean, sustainable energy. Of all the viable energy sources, space solar emerges as an attractive clean energy source.

For this purpose we’ll have to build huge solar panels outside Earth’s atmosphere. This will block Sun’s rays for few minutes as compared to Earth’s rotation and cause night like conditions for few minutes during day time.

These solar panels should be made by combined effort of all the countries and should be capable of converting heat energy into electricity and transmitting this produced energy to Earth. Space-based solar power essentially consists of three elements: collecting solar energy in space with reflectors or inflatable mirrors onto solar cells or heaters for thermal systems, wireless power transmission to Earth via microwave or laser and receiving power on Earth via a rectenna, a microwave antenna.

This rectenna should be placed in every country and should be supplied enough power as per every country requirement of power.

This will be our next step towards becoming a type one civilization as per the Kardashev scale for civilizations.
