Summary

The various technologies being addressed by ERDA and their current ranking by demand and supply category are shown. The major components of a photovoltaic solar satellite power station (SPS) are listed and discussed. In reviewing the literature discussing the potential development of these systems, the Task Group considered four major aspects: the status and targets of technology, the environmental impacts, economic and planning implications, and the likely institutional/international problems. It was concluded that no clearly insurmountable barriers to SPS were identified. Program options were described and cost estimates given. (MHR)
