10,800sq meters of diminished solar energy reaching the Earth, casting a shadow of xx to the 10th sq kilometers.
Gee: Where’s the paper on the effects thereof?
Will the country(ies) affected have a say in this project???
Better (or worse): Is this how they plan on ‘selling’ the ‘solar shield’ concept to the public? Deception?

The arrays could be placed so as to cast minimal shadows on earth. The moon orbits the earth, but rarely casts any shadow on it. When it does, it’s a big deal called an eclipse. If you were really clever you could arrange it so that the orbits precess by 360 degrees per year and never cast a shadow on earth. (But then they would only see the target area about 12 hours a day.)
