Scientists have come to the conclusion in a new study that placing solar panels in space could reduce Europe's need for land-based sources of renewable energy by as much as 80% by 2050. The researchers say that such a system could eliminate problems related to changes in weather conditions and irregular energy production on earth.
Europe could use space-based solar power to slash land-based energy needs by 2050
Solar panels placed in space could meet up to 80% of Europe’s renewable energy demand by mid-century, offering a potential solution to the challenges of weather-dependent power supply.Svetlana Onye reports for The Guardian.In short:A study from King’s College London modeled Europe’s 2050 power grid and found that space-based solar panels could cut system costs by 15% and reduce battery use by more than two-thirds.The NASA-inspired system would o…
Solar power from space could help Europe reach net-zero emissions by 2050
A future where your lights, phone, and even entire cities are powered by sunlight collected in orbit may not be far-fetched. A new study published in Joule suggests that Europe could one day tap into solar energy gathered from space to help meet its ambitious goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. Instead of relying solely on wind farms and ground-based solar panels, scientists have modeled what would happen if giant arrays of solar collec…

sport.esThe possibilities offered by clean energy are enormous and we have not yet seen anything, according to a recently published study, which points to a new place to deploy solar panels: space. Researchers have discovered that photovoltaic panels in Earth orbit could reduce Europe’s renewable terrestrial energy needs by 80% by 2050. It is an old project that is now gaining new momentum.
