Thanks for posting and I am looking forward for some more like this..Keep posting. I think this is the great step on moving towards the future and I think this is the solution of the global warming.

It is unable to gather energy 100% of the time due to the fact that the solar panels would have to orbit the Earth, thus allowing it to be in the sun's direct sunlight a MAXIMUM of 50%. Even then it would have to be rotated so that it is always facing the sun. Quite expensive and most likely would have no place in the current world. quite incorrect.

Wouldn't this be awesome, to generate electricity here on the planet by capturing energy from space that would otherwise pass us by? Nice! Seems to me the biggest hurdle is going to be getting a link from a stationary place in orbit down to a rotating point at the surface. Rewards are great indeed!
