👉 A solar weapon, also known as a space-based solar power system or solar sail technology, is a hypothetical device designed to harness and manipulate solar energy in space. It would consist of large solar panels or solar sails that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, which could then be transmitted back to Earth as microwaves or lasers. This technology aims to provide a clean, virtually limitless source of energy by overcoming the limitations of terrestrial solar power, such as weather and daylight availability. The transmitted energy would be directed to receiving stations on Earth, where it would be converted back into electricity for use. While still largely theoretical, solar weapons represent an innovative approach to addressing global energy demands sustainably and efficiently.
