Abstract
A computer-implemented method and solar focusing apparatus is presented. A spacecraft system is placed in orbit around a sun, the spacecraft system including a lens element focusing divergent energy received from said sun into generally parallel energy. A ground receive element on earth receives the generally parallel energy from the spacecraft system. A control element is provided and is in communication with the spacecraft system and the ground receive element.
