The SBSP concept is attractive because space has several major advantages over the Earth's surface for the collection of solar power: • It is always in space and full sun.• Collecting surfaces could receive much more intense sunlight, owing to the lack of obstructions such as,, dust and other weather events. Consequently, the intensity in orbit is approximately 144% of the maximum attainable intensity.
