Large solar farms across the world's day side are currently producing 0 MW right now. [1]

They could be producing 0 MW across both day, morning, evening, and late evening hours. [2]
Assumes there are sufficient number of satellites to meet a 1-sun irradiance threshold. The number is calculated from the satellite irradiance total plus the direct-sun power generated.
Each sat folds out from a low volume launch configuration to produce the largest possible generating area from the lowest possible volume and mass. [3]
This is a sped-up version of one of our actual simulations. We're still experimenting with various structural configurations.
Satellites direct sunlight to earth to give solar farms more daylight. By doing this, we can power the AI revolution and usher in a new age of cheap, abundant energy from the sky. [4]
We aim to give our customers up to 6 hours per day of additional daylight.
