A Solar Revolution from Space: How AI-Driven Space-Based Solar Panels Will Transform the Future of Energy

By 2027, I predict that AI will play a pivotal role in harnessing 30% of the world's energy consumption from space-based solar panels. This innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we generate energy, significantly reducing global carbon emissions by an astonishing 500 megatons annually.

The Concept: Space-Based Solar Panels

Space-based solar panels, also known as Space Solar Power Systems (SSPS), collect solar energy in orbit around the Earth and beam it back to our planet as a microwave beam. This concept was first proposed in the 1960s, but it's only recently that advancements in AI and robotics have made it a viable and cost-effective option.

AI's Role in Space-Based Solar Panels

Artificial intelligence will be instrumental in optimizing the performance of space-based solar panels. AI algorithms will be used to:
