Parabolic Solar Panels On The Moon

Nasa just announced that our sun began a new solar cycle this year its 25th to be exact after reaching a solar minimum in december 2019.

Parabolic solar panels on the moon. This means that they would convert the sun s energy into electricity at a much more efficient rate than pv solar panels on earth. Solar weather activity is now expected to increase. After the electricity is converted into microwave beams and laser beams 20 kilometer diameter antennas would beam the power to receivers on earth. Not only will the ring s concrete.

The photovoltaic solar receptors on the moon would have the benefit of receiving longer hours of sunlight without the obstruction of the earth s atmosphere clouding or dust. Engineers lyndsey mcmillon brown and timothy peshek are leading a project to test perovskite solar cells which could be an alternative to silicon solar cells currently used in space. Shimizu wants to employ a small army of robotic construction workers to install a 400 meter wide ring of solar voltaic panels along the 11 000 km lunar equator. Building solar panel satellites on the moon and then launching them into earth orbit could potentially supply electricity to all of earth.

The electric power generated by the solar cells would be transmitted by electric cables to transmission facilities on the near side of the moon which is constantly facing earth. This material is a relatively new discovery and it has many advantages for solar technology. Mankins of artemis innovation.
