We provide a series of satellites in low Earth orbit that reflect daylight precisely onto solar power plants for several hours after sunset. This daylight is converted into electricity by the solar panels, just like during the day.
From a short distance away (~5km) the light will be similar to moonlight and occupy less of the sky than city glow. Late at night as electricity demand fades, all satellites set like the sun.
Our unique collimating tiles are the breakthrough they never had. Our tiles enable large specialized optics to be mass manufactured, incredibly lightweight, and durable.
We use this technology to get 9 times more watts per square meter to the ground and can use our satellites 44 times more often than traditional research with flat mirror satellites.
