Space solar power, renewable energy transmitted 24 hours a day to anywhere on Earth, could help humanity transition away from fossil fuels and live more sustainably.
These are not mirrors, but photovoltaic cells that send the electricity generated via microwaves that are concentrated in a receiver. This fries no birds, by far those that perch right on the receiver itself.
The same risk happens with an unhappy bird that perches at certain points on the high voltage lines.
Even if they were mirrors, the danger is the same, since only at the right point of focus there is the danger of burning, the same in solar thermal power plants, where a field of mirrors concentrate the light at a point on a tower to heat the water. steam to run a turbine.
