solar collection from 22,000 miles above the surface



solaren corp wants to collect solar energy from space, orbiting the earth.

interesting concept, but a number of concerns come to mind:
  • transport the technology to space, how?
  • physical space the system(s) require
  • maintenence
  • energy storage and transmission back to earth, how?
  • etc.
regardless, it would be a thrilling install project for a solar company.
