I’ll bet that would have a really high efficiency rating.

Solar power would be collected in space and beamed to Earth using high-power infrared lasers so the energy could be used in remote regions, areas hit by natural disasters and other places where terrestrial power is not readily available Why not just crank up a diesel-powered generator?
These morons have to construct such wild scenarios as this to justify their solar-powered dreams. We have a hundred million years of solar power stored under the earth. It's called coal, oil, gas, and oil sands. And we have enough thorium for another thousand years of nuclear power. No need for overpriced solar power satellites.
