Lunar Solar Panels

The same lunar materials can also be converted into photovoltaic.

Lunar solar panels.

Silicon dioxide comprising a large component of the lunar rocks and dust can be turned into glass for such a solar thermal system. However one japanese construction company put forward a plan to make a solar belt to go around the moon. The technology has been developed in the 80 s of last century will provide us with an abundance of cheap clean energy. Also provides some perspective on the cost savings achieved by using extraterrestrial materials in the construction of the satellite.

Solar power satellite from lunar and asteroidal materials provides an overview of the technological and political developments needed to construct and utilize a multi gigawatt power satellite. The advantage of this would be that the moon is constantly in the sun s light except during a lunar eclipse so power could be harnessed 24 7. So already it would still be solar power being used just reflected off of the moon first. That s right with the help of a lot of exciting research sleepless nights and some of the greatest thinkers in the world sunrun has developed the first ever lunar energy panel systems in the world.
