The relationship between microwave techniques and the growing concern for future sources of energy is reviewed. The relationship is specifically explored in the use of a microwave beam to efficiently transport power from an array of solar photovoltaic cells in space to the earth's surface. The transition from a laboratory technology of microwave power transmission to a 10 GW 23 200 mi transmission system is examined in detail.
