Space-based solar power (SBSP) is a clean, viable solution to our world's growing energy needs. Not limited by weather or geography, SBSP solves the intermittency problems of earth-based renewables by providing a reliable and flexible energy power source that is available 24/7. This disruptive technology is limited only by cost and regulation—the science is sound, the technology proven. Orbital Power Corporation is a pioneer in the effort to generate safe, clean, reliable energy from space. Solar energy is captured via satellites and sent wirelessly to receiving stations at various points around the globe. Thousands of megawatts can be harnessed and shifted between receiving stations thousands of miles from each other in a matter of seconds. All of this is accomplished at a cost comparable to building a nuclear energy facility. Orbital Power holds key intellectual property positions in SBSP, and is currently developing a ground demonstrator and pilot plant. Orbital Power Corporation maintains offices in Seattle in the United States, and London, United Kingdom.
