Space Solar

We're one step closer to bringing space-based solar power to Earth 🌍 In a world first, we've successfully demonstrated 360 wireless power beaming - proving the viability of our CASSIOPeiA design. To highlight the substantial impact our tech can have on future energy systems we shared a demonstration with Sky News Thomas Moore 👇 #SpaceSolar #FutureEnergy #NetZero

As we advance innovations in electrification and decarbonisation, our work is set to revolutionise energy delivery, supporting the national grid with sustainable solutions that align with the UK’s net zero goals. Discover how Space Solar is driving the future of clean energy with Co-CEO Sam Adlen, at next week's NZIP Innovation Showcase at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero 📅 29th October ⏰ 09:30-16:30 📍 Sheffield Town Hall https://lnkd.in/eKR8AK_F #SBSP #Sustainability #NetZero Innovate UK

Innovation was HOT at 🔥THE HEAT last month ✨ Taking place at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, we showcased our first public demo of HARRIER’s groundbreaking 360 degree beaming technology. Co-CEO Sam Adlen also took the stage to discuss how space-based solar power is paving the way toward net-zero emissions and enhancing energy accessibility for remote nations. An incredible event to be part of, check out the highlights. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ecmDXqB4 p.s. Bonus point if you can spot our Co-CEO Martin Soltau on the keyboard during the band performance! #SBSP #THEHEAT #Sustainability

We’ve teamed up with Transition Labs to announce a pioneering agreement to deliver space-based solar power to Reykjavik Energy by 2030. We are set to be operational by 2030 with an initial capacity of 30 MW, marking a groundbreaking step in the global transition to sustainable energy, with this partnership poised to accelerate the shift toward Net Zero. Our Co-CEO, Martin Soltau on the news, “Space-based solar power offers unparalleled benefits with competitive energy costs and 24/7 availability. “Reykjavik Energy’s recognition of the potential for space-based solar to drive the energy transition is exciting, and we’re thrilled to be working together in partnership toward a sustainable future.” The full story has been featured in The Times this weekend 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eRPasMBC #SBSP #Sustainability #NetZero Orkuveitan

Honoured to be part of a lively and enjoyable panel discussion at the Caltech Entrepreneurs Forum about the future of our energy system, superbly organised and hosted by Scott Sugino and Stan Tomsic.  Fascinating insights into improvements in transmission cable technologies to help with the massive scale-up needed in grid infrastructure; the huge energy demands of our water distribution networks and the interdependence of water and energy; and space-based solar power as game-changing energy technology delivering all-weather baseload and dispatchable power. Space Solar is working to make this a commercial reality within five years – much sooner than most people imagine.     Our policymakers need to think of how the whole energy generation and transmission system works, plan for disruptive emerging technologies on the near horizon, and avoid thinking in technology silos, or we will make poor decisions. Space-based solar power will deliver continuous all-weather baseload and dispatchable power at a very competitive cost, but it is even more compelling when you consider how well it integrates with other energy tech. It delivers a massive £500M of system savings for every GW of space-based solar power introduced into the system according to findings by Imperial College London.  That’s because we don’t need to overbuild the weather dependent wind and solar renewables; we don’t need duplicated (expensive) sources of backup power or storage for when it's not windy or sunny; we don’t need the massive expansion in grid infrastructure (pylons and cables) as space-based solar power can wirelessly beam power closer to the points of demand; and it can generate strong returns from exporting energy via wireless power beaming without the need for expensive fixed interconnector cables.   We must invest in innovation which is the only route to delivering the energy transition with affordable and reliable power for all. Thank you to the other panelists and a fantastic audience for a very engaging Q&A and a lot of good conversations after the forum. Peter T.

📸 Co-CEO Martin Soltau at the Herrington Carmichael Tech Roundtable. It was fantastic to join twelve other companies for a discussion on growth within the tech sector and share our own experiences in developing as a startup. 📍 One key challenge for young businesses in tech is securing funding for breakthrough technologies. With longer return cycles for early-stage organisations, attracting private investors willing to support the future of tech remains a hurdle. Thank you so much for inviting us to the conversation, The Business Magazine - South East and Herrington Carmichael LLP . #SBSP #Sustainability #Investment Great to meet everyone who attended: Darren Cheeseright Procode ; Stuart Weekes Crowe UK ; Raj Raghavan Rootquotient ; James Harcourt Novatura ; Ian Cruickshank Spectrum IT Recruitment ; Michelle McClean Hampshire County Council ; Gemma Hood Culturehood ; Tiago Veiga Aurum Solutions ; Thomas Dodd entrust IT Group ; Madhur Srivastava DocHQ ; Matt Lea, Mark Chapman, Stephen Baker - Litigation Solicitor Herrington Carmichael LLP ; Stephen Jones AND Digital .

We're attending the Caltech Entrepreneurs Forum this Saturday 👇 As a speaker, Co-CEO Martin Soltau will be discussing more on the next steps in space-based solar power and the amazing opportunities that it presents in making our electricity sustainable, reliable and affordable. Fantastic to speak alongside representatives from Caltech, Breakthrough Energy and TS Conductor . See you there! 🙌 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e2hYs3W4 #Sustainability #SBSP #EntrepreneursForum

📍 Space Solar will be joining the Westminster Energy, Environment & Transport Forum policy conference on the 'Next Steps for the UK Space Industry' next week. Our Co-CEO, Martin Soltau, will be sharing insights as part of his panel, alongside Katherine Courtney of the Global Network on Sustainability in Space, on the role of space technology in driving innovation, growing the UK space enterprise, and supporting green initiatives on the path to net zero. Proud to be part of this important discussion, shaping policy and strengthening collaboration between industry and government to tackle climate change together. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eVDehpVJ #SBSP #WEETFEVENTS #Sustainability

📍 "The opportunity's huge, space is a huge part of our future, and I'm excited for anyone that's joining the space sector," - Sam Adlen, Co-CEO of Space Solar The possibilities are endless, and with the amazing talent streaming into the space sector alongside industry veterans, we're pushing innovation further than ever before. Space-based solar power is just one example of how space can offer solutions beyond what’s possible on Earth. #WorldSpaceWeek celebrates not only the wonders of space but also the advancements by both industry and government in harnessing its potential. Listen in 👇 #WSW2024 #WorldSpaceWeek2024 #SpaceandClimateChange

We're not creating space-based solar power alone 🤝 With the drive toward net zero more important than ever, we work with a number of partners to ensure that clean energy from space is realised. From the UK government to global partners in industry, we're working internationally to create a more sustainable future - climate action impacts us all.
