[QUOTE="keith99, post: 76849402, member: 211648"] Yes a wider panel does jsut as well. Working along the lines you proposed a mirror would work far better. There was a far better proposal made over 80 years ago! Isaac Asimov proposed using power satelites with large collectors which could then point a columnated beam to collectors on Earth in the story [I]Reason[/I]. It was first published in 1941 and first collected in the book [I]I, Robot[/I] (which is nothing like the film). It is worth pointing out that this technology was only a background to get 2 humans out in space with very advanced robots to deal with what would reasonably be deduced by those robots with knowledge focused on that environment.
