Constraints on solar power satellites are more ground-based than space-based, says study

Space-based solar power has been gaining more and more traction recently. The recent success of Caltech's Space Solar Power Project, which demonstrated the feasibility of transmitting power from space to the ground, has been matched by a number of pilot projects throughout the world, all of which are hoping to tap into some of the almost unlimited and constant solar energy that is accessible up in geostationary orbit (GEO).
