Overview Energy wants to beam energy from space to existing solar farms | TechCrunch

Overview Energy emerged from stealth today with a plan to use the world's solar panels as nighttime collectors of power beamed down from space. The startup plans to use large solar arrays in geosynchronous orbit - about 22,000 miles above the Earth where satellites match the planet's rotation - to harvest sunlight. It will then use infrared lasers to transmit that power to utility-scale solar farms on Earth, allowing them to send power to the grid nearly round the clock.
