British scientists efficiently collect solar energy from space

An engineering team at the University of Strathclyde in the United Kingdom recently stated that collecting solar energy in space will be an effective way to ensure the maximum possible conversion of sunlight into electricity. Current will be transmitted through the laser to the place needed by the Earth.

This is indeed a renewable energy source in the space age! This idea is not the first time it is proposed, because many researchers, especially Japanese researchers, are currently studying similar proposals. Although the implementation of the project will cost a huge amount of money, its philosophy will make a huge change in energy use.

Experts from Strathclyde University are currently working on a series of space platforms for installing solar panels. Because they are not blocked by clouds or dust, these solar panels will generate electricity at full capacity, without interruption.

Electrical energy can be stored in a capacitor and then transmitted to a ground receiving station via laser or microwave radiation. In addition to providing cheap electricity, this approach will also provide basic electricity needs in remote parts of the world. Dr. Vasily of the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at Strathclyde University stated: "Space provides a reliable source for collecting solar energy. We will be able to collect solar energy regardless of day or night, regardless of weather conditions."

He added: “In the Sahara desert and other regions, we can capture high-quality solar energy, but it is very difficult to transport it to the required places. However, our research focuses on how we can eliminate this obstacle and use it. Space solar power is delivered to the Earth where it is needed.One of the main advantages of using this system is that it will continuously provide energy.The target receiver station can also change, changing as the Earth rotates.

Vasily went on to say: "At first, small satellites will be able to provide enough energy for a small village, but our goal is to use advanced technologies and hope that one day we will be able to set up a large enough platform in space to collect energy and we will be able to Powering large cities."
