Скачать или смотреть Reflect Orbital: California Startup Sells Sunlight After Sunset! 🌌🌍🔆

California-based startup Reflect Orbital is pioneering a novel approach to extend solar energy production by using satellites to reflect sunlight back to Earth after dark.

CEO Ben Nowack unveiled the ambitious plan at the International Conference on Energy from Space in London, detailing the use of 57 small satellites equipped with 33-square-foot ultra-reflective mylar mirrors. These satellites, orbiting 370 miles above Earth, aim to provide solar farms with an extra 30 minutes of sunlight during peak demand periods.

The company has already tested the concept with an eight-by-eight-foot mylar mirror on a hot air balloon, successfully generating around 500 watts of energy per square meter of solar panel from a distance of 800 feet. Reflect Orbital's approach promises to make nighttime solar energy feasible and economically viable, addressing the challenge of solar energy availability when the sun sets.
