Caltech’s Groundbreaking Space Solar Power Innovation

Engineers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have achieved a major breakthrough in the ongoing development of space-based solar power. The university recently reported that its experimental Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD-1) successfully beamed solar power from space back down to Earth in a historic first which could spark major interest in what many think is the next frontier in clean energy production.  It’s become increasingly clear that one of the biggest hurdles for scaling solar and wind power is…
