4 FAQs about [Iceland supersun solar]
Will Space Solar Power Reykjavik Energy in 2030?
Space Solar has secured an agreement with Reykjavik Energy to provide electricity from a space-based solar plant in 2030. There is a letter of intent in place between the UK-based startup and the Icelandic utility, with Space Solar expecting to transmit solar energy from orbit within five years.
Could space solar be a source of electricity in Iceland?
Sam Adlen, co-CEO and executive director at Space Solar, told pv magazine the startup has already started identifying potential sites in Iceland where receivers could be located for electricity beamed from space, working in partnership with Reykjavik Energy and local cleantech consultancy Transition Labs.
What makes Reykjavik Energy a good partner for space solar?
Their forward-thinking approach to climate technology, combined with expertise in carbon storage through Carbfix and a long-standing partnership with Climeworks, makes Reykjavik Energy the perfect partner for Space Solar’s initial phase,” Kjartan Örn Ólafsson, CEO of Transition Labs, said in a statement.
Can Iceland deliver more power to Earth?
This year, the Caltech demonstrator for this technology showed that the technology itself is certainly possible, but it beamed only milliwatts of power to Earth. The proposal for Iceland will have to be able to deliver billions of times more power. There are challenges for sure, so it will be interesting to see if they are met.
