<p>Definition of space based solar power by Wikipedia:</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong>Space-based solar power</strong> (SBSP) (or historically <strong>space solar power</strong><a title="Solar power" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power">solar power</a> in <a title="Space" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space">space</a>, for use on <a title="Earth" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth">Earth</a>. SBSP differs from the usual method of solar power collection in that the <a title="Solar panels" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panels">solar panels</a> used to collect the energy would reside on a <a title="Satellite" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite">satellite</a> in <a title="Geosynchronous orbit" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynchronous_orbit">orbit</a>, often referred to as a <strong>solar power satellite</strong> (SPS), rather than on Earth&#8217;s surface. In space, collection of the Sun&#8217;s energy is unaffected by the day/night cycle, weather, seasons, or the filtering effect of Earth&#8217;s atmospheric gases.</span> (SSP)) is a system for the collection of</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The world Radiation Centre&#8217;s 1985 standard extraterrestrial spectrum for solar irradiance is 1367 W/m<sup>2</sup>.<sup id="cite_ref-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup> The integrated total terrestrial solar irradiance is 950 W/m<sup>2</sup>.<sup id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power#cite_note-1">[2]</a></sup> Therefore, extraterrestrial solar irradiance is 144% of the maximum terrestrial irradiance. A major interest in SBSP stems from the length of time the solar collection panels can be exposed to a consistently high amount of solar radiation. For most of the year, a satellite-based solar panel can collect power 24 hours per day, whereas a land-based station can collect for only 12 hours per day, yielding lower power collection rates around the sunrise and sunset hours. <a title="space based solar power" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power" target="_blank">Wikipedia source</a><br /></span></p>
