Description
This study investigates Direct Sun Reflecting solution, an innovative concept aiming at boosting energy producing while optimizing existing structures utilization and maximizing their returns. It addresses the pressing need for sustainable energy solutions that can pave the way towards a greener and more resilient future and aligns with Europe's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Our concept is based on the global concept of Space Based Solar Power infrastructure and aims at producing green energy in the fastest time to market and the most competitive cost. It is a constellation of passive reflectors redirecting the sun power on ground stations, that can then generate electricity on the grid or hydrogen off grid.
