New Microwave Tech Paves Way for Space-Based Solar Power Generation

Paving the way for generating space-based solar power, Japanese researchers have succeeded in transmitting electrical power wirelessly to a pinpoint target using microwaves.
The team at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) transformed 1.8 kilowatts of electric power into microwaves and transmitted it with accuracy to a receiver located 55 meters away, Wall Street Journal reported.

A receiver set up on Earth with an approximately three-km radius can create up to one gigawatt of electricity - about the same as one nuclear reactor.
Researchers "are aiming for practical use in the 2030s", posted Jaxa researcher Yasuyuki Fukumuro on its website.
Satellite-based solar panels can capture the energy around-the-clock and are not affected by weather conditions, the report added.
