india has always had a problem of electricity. Be it heavy rain or storm, the power is cut off immediately. Apart from this, there are many villages and cities in india where there is still no electricity facility for 24 hours. Apart from india, there are many countries in the world where electricity facility is not good. But, now it is being said that scientists are going to develop such a technology, with the help of which electricity will be supplied from space and it will not be affected by any storm. Let us tell you about it in detail.

What is the whole matter?

Recently, a british startup firm said that it will prepare the Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) project in 2030 which will supply electricity to the earth directly from space. Let us tell you, apart from Britain, work is going on on such projects in many countries of europe including America, Japan.

How will electricity be available from space?

Actually, there is a time for the sun to rise and set on earth. But this is not the case in space. There is always sunlight there. Apart from this, many times sunlight does not reach the earth due to bad weather. But, there is no such problem in space. This is the reason why scientists are working on such a solar project which is space based and from there the earth gets electricity supply 24 hours a day, 365 days without any interruption. If this project is successful, then electricity will reach every corner of the earth and the world will develop more rapidly.

How will a solar plant be installed in space?

Scientists will do this with the help of satellite. Actually, the scientists working on this project will install a satellite in the orbit of the earth on which large solar panels will be installed. These solar panels will produce electricity with the help of solar energy. The biggest thing is that this electricity will be sent to the receiver located on the earth at a frequency of 2.45 GHz without any wire or pole. Apart from this, according to the second option, a beam of 30 megawatts of energy will be released directly on the earth through the satellite, which will provide electricity to about 3 thousand houses.
