China has announced plans to construct a massive space-based solar power station roughly one kilometer wide, designed to orbit Earth and collect energy almost continuously.
Unlike ground-based solar farms, a station in space would not be affected by clouds, weather, seasons, or night, allowing it to receive uninterrupted sunlight year-round.
The collected energy would be transmitted back to Earth using microwave technology, delivering power to dedicated ground receiving stations.
Researchers estimate that a single installation of this scale could generate more energy annually than the total global oil consumption over the same period.
While major challenges remain—such as orbital assembly, radiation shielding, and safe power transmission—the project could redefine how humanity produces and distributes energy.
