"In the near future, we may consider building manned space stations, specially designed to be operated by robots, with a small human team to oversee operations. These robots would be able to perform a variety of space tasks, harnessing solar energy as a source primary.
The conversion of solar radiation into electrical energy is already a widely established technology, used in satellites and space probes and also rovers. Solar panels capture solar energy and turn it into electricity, powering the spacecraft's systems.
In addition, consider the possibility of transmitting this energy generated at the space station to Earth through beams of transported rays, transmitted by a transmitter directed to the planetary receiver, Nikola Tesla has already developed a prototype capable of doing this feat in short scalar, and it is also addressed in science fiction works, such as Isaac Asimov's short story in the book "I, Robot".
