What Does SPS Stand For?

SPS stands for Solar Power Satellite

SPS, or Solar Power Satellite, refers to a proposed technology that utilizes satellites equipped with solar panels to capture solar energy in space. This energy is then converted into microwave or laser energy and transmitted wirelessly to Earth, where it can be converted back into electricity for use. SPS systems aim to provide a continuous and renewable source of energy, mitigating the limitations of terrestrial solar power, such as weather and daylight variations. By harnessing solar energy from space, SPS has the potential to significantly contribute to global energy needs while reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
