Thanks for the post. Solar power is a fantastic source of energy, hopefully one day in the future we can develop much more efficient ways of harnessing the suns energy.
It has been proposed to put solar panes on the moon. These would not need to be so robust as on Earth, there is no weathering effects on the moon, so solar panel could be as thing as possible. The energy could be transmitted to earth through a microwave signal from the Moon. I'd like to see this happen. Although I guess this would be bad news for oil firms.
