Can the Sun light directed from a mirror installed on a satellite generate more solar power?

The solar panels would be lid by computerized satellites, that could make possible to improve drastically the generation of free energy. 24hours a day. On multiple zones of the surface of the Earth, or Sol III. Sustainable and free.


Considering the costs of building/maintaining the system of mirrors on the orbit and impossibility to manage condition of the atmosphere this idea might be infeasible.

Can mirrors be used to concentrate solar power?

As in,aim beams of light at a solar panel or does it lose what it needs through the transition to supply power?
Holy shit I thought I was way out of line lol thanks!


Yes you can concentrate the sun light on to a solar panel, but as they have said the heat build up is some thing you must determine how to dissipate. The more you concentrate the solar energy the more heat must be handled.

why can't you make a solar mirror erray powerfull enough for your house?

You know those mirror things that are in the desert that heat up oil and the turn water into steam. That then turns a turbine? Shoot I used to cook ants with power of the sun.


You can do it. The best way is to use a sterling cycle engine to run the generator. A prototype system is being developed in California.

  • WIPO PUBLISHES PATENT OF KONICA MINOLTA OPTO FOR "FILM MIRROR AND REFLECTIVE ...

    GENEVA, Dec. 23 -- Publication No. WO/2011/158665 was published on Dec. 22. Title of the invention: "FILM MIRROR AND REFLECTIVE DEVICE FOR SOLAR THERMAL POWER GENERATION." Applicants: Konica Minolta Opto, Inc.

    (JP). Inventors: Takayuki Suzuki (JP). According to the abstract posted by the World Intellectual Property Organization: "Disclosed is a lightweight flexible film mirror having excellent weather resistance and good specular reflectance of solar heat, which can be suppressed in decrease in the specular reflectance even in cases when the film mirror is used in a harsh environment for a long period of time. The film mirror can be mass-produced and have a larger area, while being suppressed in the production cost. Also disclosed is a reflective device for solar thermal power generation, which uses the film mirror. The film mirror comprises a resin base and at least a silver reflective layer that is disposed on the resin base. The film mirror is characterized by comprising a layer that contains a compound that captures an amine and another layer that contains a silver complex compound that is obtained by having one or more silver compounds represented by general formula (1) below and at least one amine compound react with each other. AgnX (1)" The patent was filed on June 3 under Application No. PCT/JP2011/062777.

Enough energy from the sun falls on the Earth everyday to power our homes and businesses for almost 30 years. Yet we’ve only just begun to tap its potential. You may have heard about solar electric power to light homes or solar thermal power used to heat water, but did you know there is such a thing as solar thermal-electric power? Electric utility companies are using mirrors to concentrate heat from the sun to produce environmentally friendly electricity for cities, especially in the southwestern United States. The southwestern United States is focusing on concentrating solar energy because it’s one of the world’s best areas for sunlight. The Southwest receives up to twice the sunlight as other regions in the country. This abundance of solar energy makes concentrating solar power plants an attractive alternative to traditional power plants, which burn polluting fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Fossil fuels also must be continually purchased and refined to use. Unlike traditional power plants, concentrating solar power systems provide an environmentally benign source of energy, produce virtually no emissions, and consume no fuel other than sunlight. About the only impact concentrating solar power plants have on the environment is land use. Although the amount of land a concentrating solar power plant occupies is larger than that of a fossil fuel plant, both types of plants use about the same amount of land because fossil fuel plants use additional land for mining and exploration as well as road building to reach the mines. Other benefits of concentrating solar power plants include low operating costs, and the ability to produce power during high-demand energy periods and to help increase our energy security—our country’s independence from foreign oil imports. Because they store energy, they can operate in cloudy weather and after sunset. When combined with fossil fuels as a hybrid system, they can operate around the clock regardless of weather. Concentrating solar power plants also create two and a half times as many skilled jobs as traditional plants.
