Abstract

In this study, to be able to establish commercially viable space-based solar energy systems in space, the state of the art and their future aspects are presented with regard to space law, economy and other need-to-improve aspects of related technology such as transportation from the Earth to orbit, generation of the energy and its wireless transmission.  Moreover, ideas and solutions how to develop a commercial value for the space-based solar energy systems are elaborated. Finally, considering the Turkey’s 2035 vision, a conceptual design of a GEO commercial space based solar power system, named as “Günebakan” that would generate 500 MW electricity, on earth is given.
