ABSTRACT:
A system for generating power from sunlight collected substantially above the earth's surface comprises an airborne platform which supports an apparatus to collect sunlight, an apparatus to convert sunlight to electricity, and an apparatus to transmit the electricity to a selected location on the earth's surface. The airborne platform collects solar energy above the clouds and transmits the energy to a receiving station on the ground via a microwave transmission system, avoiding possible attenuating effects of clouds and pollution.
