Argh I hate how they never show installation costs upfront…
People think the cost of the panel is the most expensive, but it’s actually the 151 million km copper cable
Why can’t we just wirelessly transmit the power, maybe have it hit a collection device that can harness about 4 kwh/m^2/day
Hey that’s not a bad idea. We could install these receivers on people’s roofs or in big parking lots
Copper wouldn’t cut it, too much resistance. You need a superconductor… only problem is how to keep it cold enough at below 1000C.
In units of JWSTs
Build a Dyson Sphere and make $188 septillion/year
Return on investment in just 37,561 years, start building today!
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer’s shunned, you might as well be installing solar panels on the sun
So don’t delay, act now! Supplies are running out
Allow, if you’re still alive
Six to eight years to arrive in low solar orbit
