Extra-terrestrial irradiance refers to the intensity of sunlight reaching the Earth's upper atmosphere, essentially the amount of solar energy we would receive without any atmospheric interference.

The collected energy would then be transmitted to Earth in the form of microwaves. This system eliminates the limitations of terrestrial solar power plants, such as intermittent production or dust ...
