Product

Problem

Current solar energy systems are limited by daylight hours, preventing continuous power generation and lighting solutions after sunset. This intermittency restricts the reliability and applicability of solar power for various energy needs.

Solution

Reflect Orbital uses a constellation of in-space reflectors to capture sunlight and redirect it to the Earth's surface, providing a continuous source of energy for both lighting and power generation, even after dark. By positioning mirrors in space, the system overcomes the limitations of traditional solar energy by delivering sunlight to desired locations at any time. This approach enables access to solar energy beyond daylight hours, increasing the potential for solar to meet global energy demands.

Target Audience

The primary target audience includes utility companies, municipalities, and large-scale energy consumers seeking a reliable and continuous source of solar power, as well as organizations requiring off-grid lighting solutions.

Features

  • Constellation of in-space reflectors for capturing and redirecting sunlight
  • Continuous energy source for lighting and power generation, available after sunset
  • Targeted delivery of sunlight to specific locations on Earth
