A UK startup has claimed a major breakthrough in its plans to beam solar energy from space to Earth. At a lab in Belfast, Oxford-based Space Solar managed to light up an LED sign by wirelessly beaming energy through the air, from all angles. This marks the world’s first 360-degree wireless power transmission, said the startup. “This steerable power beaming capability is the heart of our solar power satellite design,” Martin Soltau, founder at Space Solar, told TNW. Space-based solar power involves capturing the Sun’s energy in space, using satellites equipped with solar panels. The power is then transmitted wirelessly…
