China has announced plans to build a giant solar power space station, which will be lifted into orbit piece by piece using the nation's brand-new heavy lift rockets.

Large solar arrays in geostationary orbit collect solar energy and beam it back to Earth via microwaves as a continuous source of clean energy. However, implementing this technology is not so simple.

A Caltech experiment demonstrated space-based solar power’s potential, marking a key step in harnessing orbital renewable energy.

Designing space-based solar Beaming solar energy from space is not new; telecommunications satellites have been sending microwave signals generated by solar power back to Earth since the 1960s.
