Space Based Solar Power

Watch the webinar session exploring Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP), the groundbreaking concept of harvesting solar energy in space and beaming it back to Earth.

Unlike terrestrial renewables, satellites in geostationary orbit receive sunlight continuously, enabling uninterrupted clean energy generation unaffected by weather or the day–night cycle. By transmitting power wirelessly to Earth, SBSP could deliver flexible, sustainable energy to even the most remote or disaster-affected regions.

This webinar delved into how SBSP works, the latest technological developments, and the role of the Space Energy Initiative (SEI) in driving the UK’s leadership in this emerging field. Discover how innovations in materials, aerospace engineering, and wireless power transmission could transform the global energy landscape.
