Radiation Resistant Solar and Laser Power Converter for Lunar Applications

The 3T concept enables the development of a dual-function solar-laser power system. Which can be optimized for terrestrial applications, ensuring continuous operation regardless of weather conditions or time of day. This technology supports both ground and aerial applications, leveraging a high-power, lightweight array that reduces weight and size constraints. Advancements in radiation-resilient structures further expand its applicability to space-based systems, including commercial space operations. Specifically, the high-performing laser power converter component unlocks power-by-light applications in autonomous vehicles, telecommunications, disaster relief, and power grid transmission. The smart-switching array configuration enhances the adaptability of any photovoltaics array application by optimizing performance under non-uniform illumination.
