Space based solar power would come from
kilometre long solar panel arrays to gather
sunlight in orbit. Energy from the solar
panel's would be beaming down to Earth in
the form of microwaves or a laser, which
could be collected in antennas on the ground
and then converted to electricity. Unlike a
solar panel based on the ground, solar power
satellites placed in geostationary orbit
above the Earth could operate at night and
during cloudy conditions.
