Mass of solar panels in space
Multiple countries and companies are investing billions in space-based solar power (SBSP), and the first demonstration systems could be operational by 2030. This might be the most ambitious energy project in human history. . Spacecraft operating in the inner Solar System usually rely on the use of power electronics -managed photovoltaic solar panels to derive electricity from sunlight. Outside the orbit of Jupiter, solar radiation is too weak to produce sufficient power within current solar technology and spacecraft. . Every hour, more solar energy reaches the Earth than humans use in a year. It sounds like science fiction.
