One futuristic scheme to produce power on a large scale proposes placing giant solar
panels into Earth's orbit, where energy generated from sunlight would be converted to
microwaves and beamed to antennas on Earth for reconversion to electric power. To
produce as much power as five large nuclear power plants (5.00×10° W total),
several square kilometres of solar panels would have to be assembled in orbit. An
Earth-based antenna that is 8 km in diameter would be required to receive
microwaves from the solar modules, which would be positioned 7.52×10° m away
from Earth's centre.
