you would i assume place two of them at the poles and so made best use of the available sunlight, but how you keep them there is another matter as you cant have them use geosynchronous orbit at these points AFAIK.

if and when we can stuff satalites up on the cheap then you would have lots of relay points around the geosynchronous orbit and then by that time, we would be far more advanced and have the global co-operation far more advanced i assume.

as i said above, lots of micro-generation single home Appliance plus is the way to go TODAY, make them and we will buy and use them, if your not price hikeing for the sake of short term mass profits, think far longer term and sell lots of single units for far longer...

the world computer industry is moveing to far lowerpower chips and pc kit today, lets see all the other home Appliances doing the same, and we might even think about including these near future self contained universal power generation units with almost every appliance as a way to massively improve the uptake over the shorter term, and thats got to be good for starting a new micro power inovation market.
