Overview Energy

Overview Energy is building satellites that collect sunlight in space and beam it to Earth. The site calls this space energy for Earth. The energy is sent as near infrared light to solar projects that turn it into electricity. The site does not give a head office location.

The satellites sit in geosynchronous orbit. The company says they capture sunlight 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Solar panels on the satellites turn sunlight into near infrared light. Laser diode modules and optics direct the light to receivers on Earth.

The receivers are large solar projects. They turn the near infrared light into electricity. The company says one satellite cluster can serve receivers across continents and switch as demand changes. The site says the system adds output to existing solar projects without extra land.

The site says the light is safe for humans, animals, aircraft, and spacecraft. The company says its beam is designed to be passively safe. It uses a wide beam. The site says the system can deliver power without using congested transmission lines.

The company says it uses proven, commercially available components. The first version of its modular system flew in an airborne demonstration. The site lists a lab energy transfer as complete. It lists transfers from low Earth orbit and geosynchronous orbit as in progress or upcoming.

The company says it aims for grid scale power by the early 2030s. The site says the satellites are designed for mass manufacturing. It also lists a full constellation build out as upcoming. The site has news posts, a partner list, a team page, and LinkedIn and X links. The site lists three key advantages: field proven technologies, flight validated performance, and mass production ready designs. It says the company's satellites rely on commercially available components. The site has a page with answers to common questions about safety and legality.
