Sponsored by REACH POWERThe grid needs power that never stops. What if the answer is 100 miles up?
Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) harvests solar energy in orbit, where the sun shines constantly, and transmits it to Earth as clean, firm electricity.
As part of SF Climate Week 2026, YPE Bay Area and Space Frontier Foundation are convening energy leaders, investors, and innovators for an honest conversation about whether SBSP can deliver โ and what it would take to get there.
๐ Speakers
Chris Davlantes, Founder & CEO at Reach Power, is building the wireless power transmission layer that makes SBSP practical using AI-driven, adaptive power-beaming networks to deliver.
John 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.
Marc Berte, Founder & CEO at Overview Energy, is building satellites in geosynchronous orbit that beam clean energy to Earth using near-infrared lasers.
