• CLM-0317 Two studies of how much land US ground-mounted solar farms need, the second drawing most of its measurements from the first, indicate once converted to the same units that the receiving antenna of a space solar power design already in the register would need roughly a quarter to a fifth as much ground per unit of electricity delivered.
