Scientists have found an innovative way to harvest solar energy: how it works.


The private company Aetherflux plans to create a new space solar technology that will be accessible and scalable. They announced the launch of a group of satellites that will transmit solar energy to Earth using infrared lasers. This technology will allow the use of small satellites and gradually increase their number. The company plans to demonstrate its achievements by early 2026.
Aetherflux will use the Apex space platform to launch its satellites. These satellites will become energy stations that will emit solar energy to Earth using an infrared laser. They will also have energy storage for nighttime operation. This approach will differ from traditional satellite solar methods, which require large satellite arrays in geostationary orbit.
Conclusion
Aetherflux plans to implement scalable space solar technology. Their satellites will transmit solar energy to Earth using infrared lasers. This approach will allow the use of small satellites and reduce development costs of the energy infrastructure. The success of this project could open new opportunities for supplying renewable energy from space.
Moreover, solar energy becomes a threat to the environment. In Australia, the issue with using solar panels lies in waste disposal. Therefore, this new approach to solar energy could be not only economically beneficial but also environmentally safe.
