Part 4/10:
A significant challenge for urban solar deployment is space—cities are dense, and available rooftops are often not suited for large-scale solar. Musk suggests that autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving could free up parking lots, creating more space for solar installations in cities.
Moreover, Musk envisions deploying solar farms in space—positioned directly toward the Sun, these farms could provide unlimited power through space-based solar power systems. His rocket company, SpaceX, has the capability to build such structures, which could transmit energy via lasers directly to satellites like Starlink, creating a virtually infinite energy source.
