^Even if that's spam, that reminds me. Last night I had a dream that my parents started seriously considering putting solar panels on the roof.

Stratosolar now a straight photovoltaic system halfway between space based and desert solar

Desert based solar power has energy utilization of 25% versus 15% for average solar power in Europe. Space based solar power can be considered To have 130% of earth based solar power utilization. There is more solar insolation in space and it is available at all times. However, microwave or laser transmission reduces the power delivered from space in half to about 65%. Stratosphere based solar power can 50% utilization with solar tracking and 40% without tracking.
