The grid needs power that never stops. What if the answer is 100 miles up?nThe clean energy transition has an unsolved problem: solar & wind are cheap, but the sun sets & the wind stops. The grid needs firm, always-on clean power & we're running out of time to find it.nSpace-Based Solar Power (SBSP) harvests solar energy in orbit, where the sun shines constantly, & transmits it to Earth as clean, firm electricity.nAs part of SF Climate Week 2026, YPE Bay Area & Space Frontier Foundation are convening energy leaders, investors, & innovators for an honest conversation about whether SBSP can deliver & what it would take to get there.n SpeakersnJohn Bucknell, Founder & CEO at Virtus Solis Technologies, is building the world's first commercial SBSP system using modular solar-harvesting satellites that beam energy to Earth via microwave.nMarc Berte, Founder & CEO at Overview Energy, is building satellites in geosynchronous orbit that beam clean energy to Earth using near-infrared lasers.nChris Davlantes, Founder at Reach Power, is building the wireless power transmission layer that makes SBSP practical using AI-driven, adaptive power-beaming networks to deliver.nAgendan5:30 PM Doors open & networking & light refreshmentsn6:00 PM Panel discussionn7:00 - 7:30 PM Networking receptionnAbout the OrganizersnSF Climate WeeknYPE SF Bay AreanSpace Frontier FoundationnnBy registering for this event, you agree to share your registration information with the organizers of SF Climate Week.
