The idea of space-based solar power (SBSP) – using satellites to collect energy from the Sun and 'beam' it to collection points on Earth – has been around since at least the late 1960s.
is an example of this, because breezes are generated by uneven heating of the atmosphere by the Sun.
PV in orbit won't be limited by the onset of night. A satellite in geostationary orbit – a circular orbit around 36,000 kilometers above the Earth – is exposed to the Sun for more than 99 percent of the time during a whole year. This allows it to produce green energy 24/7. Transferring energy collected in space to the ground requires wireless power transmission. Using microwaves for this minimises the energy lost in the atmosphere, even through cloudy skies.
