A plausible concept for a first space Solar Power Satellite demonstration is presented. The designed satellite is similar in size to a direct broadcast communication satellite. It uses a 40 kW solar array to provide power to a 20 kW IR laser. Because

Zinc diffused P on N GaSb cells are typically used in TPV systems. However, there are three potential advantages for developing N on P GaSb cells. First, because the minority electron carrier diffusion length in the P type wafer is longer than the ho

An optimized design of a Heterojunction N+ on P GaSb thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell with hydrogenated amorphous silicon interface passivation is presented. The N+ layer is a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). The interface recombination rate between

Regression analysis of measured atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, global mean surface temperatures and human-managed world-GDP indicate that Paris Agreement thresholds of temperature rises of 1.5 and 2 ° C will be reached in 2026 and 2038 + 7 years r

Analysis of atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, global mean surface temperatures, and a “Goldilocks” planet model that is neither too hot nor cold identifies how civilization could continue thriving beyond 2050–2080 (or earlier). It starts with th

Extrapolations of ‘Swanson's Law’ (a learning curve) and its replot project that solar cells (predominately crystalline Si so far) can match the world's current power generating capacity at lower costs than fossil fuels and with a net gain in job

A Space Power Satellite capable of providing solar electric power economically for 24 hours per day has been a dream for decades. Herein, an alternative will be described. Mirrors deflecting sunbeams down to earth is a much simpler concept. While thi

Unsubsidized costs of solar PV and wind energy are beginning to directly compete with coal and natural gas in some locations. The time is fast approaching when firm plans for their widespread adoption will be needed, once renewable energy variability
