Solar Earth Station

Earth-based solar power is the current form of solar power technology, which utilizes solar panels placed on the ground to generate energy. This method is not as efficient as the space based method due to environmental barriers such as the atmosphere, which absorbs and reflects sunlight. At the center of this technology are silicon wafers, which are used to convert sunlight to energy.

How does this work?

Solar panels, which consist of silicon wafers joined together to form a circuit, are used to absorb the sun light and converts it into DC electricity. The electric panels then send electricity to the desired locations/devices.
