Future solar batteries will be placed in the universe

Currently the energy problem is very urgent, solar batteries are an effective solution. Recently, a study of putting solar batteries on the universe will optimize the benefits.

Every day the sun always radiates to the surface of the earth with a huge amount of energy, this natural energy source is extremely abundant and almost endless, but the ability to exploit this energy source depends heavily on geographic location, weather and a few other factors. Scientists are now looking to bring huge solar panels out into space, helping to optimize the capabilities and benefits of these batteries.

Solar panels will become optimal when placed in space.(Illustration)

This concept has been around since the 1940s when science fiction writer Isaac Asimov acknowledged the idea of ​​a manned space station, energizing the earth through energy carriers. Now scientists are gradually turning that story into a true story.

If placed in space, solar panels will not be affected by extreme weather factors. This is also the perfect place for solar panels to be energized 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The solar panels can produce virtually continuous energy in the universe.(Illustration)

In the short term, scientists are looking for ways to "transport" that infinite energy to Earth. Laser beams are the first starting point for scientists, with small space stations, laser beams of energy that can be concentrated and harvested at a fixed point on the earth, but weak The point comes from the nature of laser beams, they will be blocked by clouds and rain, which disrupts energy transmission.

Scientists are studying to transport energy from solar panels to Earth.(Illustration)

This forces scientists to find another option, this time with microwaves. Like the nature of microwaves in household microwave ovens, the satellite stations, after accumulating enough energy, will pass through microwave waves to the receiving points on the earth. Microwave waves will not be affected by weather factors, which can be transmitted through the atmosphere. Although highly feasible, however, the cost to build such a microwave transceiver system will be very expensive.

The current study is focusing on another direction with high feasibility and quite affordable price when compared to what this project offers. The types of electromagnetic waves carrying energy can completely solve all problems. Electromagnetic waves in things like TV, radio . do not carry much energy, but they are capable of transporting energy with a certain frequency.

This is a turning point in the study of bringing solar batteries out of space. Expected power stations of this type will be available in about 20 years with the investment capital can reach 20 billion USD.
