Scientists Just Got A Step Closer to The Sci-Fi Reality of Building Solar Power Stations in Space

Hajimiri leads a component of a larger endeavor by Caltech researchers to develop technology that could gather the sun's energy in massive satellites orbiting Earth and beam it down to power the grid.
...
Solar panels on Earth only work during the day, and they don't produce much power on cloudy days or when the sun is low in the evening or early morning.
In orbit, however, such panels would produce a constant stream of zero-emission power.
In space, it's always noon on a sunny day, says Hajimiri.
