White Paper comparing Space Based Solar Power architectures

On February 1, 2024, Virtus Solis Technologies published a White Paper comparing 7 architectures for deploying Space Based Solar Power (SBSP).  

A link to the paper is below.

The bottom line:  SBSP is technically and economically feasible NOW as a new energy source and climate change solution.

I encourage reviewing the appendices for analysis and charts detailing the revolution in launch cadence and costs being achieved by SpaceX which is a prime enabler for the deployment of SBSP and all other development in cislunar space.
