Silicon dioxide comprising a large component of the lunar rocks and dust can be turned into glass for such a solar thermal system.
Lunar solar panels.
So already it would still be solar power being used just reflected off of the moon first.
That s right with the help of a lot of exciting research sleepless nights and some of the greatest thinkers in the world sunrun has developed the first ever lunar energy panel systems in the world.
The advantage of this would be that the moon is constantly in the sun s light except during a lunar eclipse so power could be harnessed 24 7.
Electric power generated by a belt of solar cells around the lunar equator could be transmitted and beamed to the earth from the near side of the moon.
The same lunar materials can also be converted into photovoltaic.
Nasa was researching building solar panel satellites on earth and stationing them in orbit to provide clean energy and was about to abandon this project because of the high cost until they discovered they had a free satellite with most of the production material for solar panels available on this satellite called the moon.
With our patented lunarlight technology your home can absorb tons of lunar energy and convert it into clean renewable power for your home.
Solar power satellite from lunar and asteroidal materials provides an overview of the technological and political developments needed to construct and utilize a multi gigawatt power satellite.
