The results of this design and analysis work continue to support utility-scale SBSP as a cost-effective source of electricity at wholesale for less than $0.10 per kilowatt hour. This price point is competitive with current energy costs while delivering clean, sustainable power.\r\nSBSP will be able to replace non-renewable carbon-emitting sources of power generation, such as fossil fuels, for the underling energy need that acts as the foundation of the energy grid. Unlike other renewable sources which suffer from intermittency issues, SBSP can provide true baseload power - the reliable, continuous \"always-on\" electricity that the grid must supply 24/7 to meet the lowest level of daily demand - and has the potential to replace carbon-emitting fossil fuels that currently meet this foundational energy demand.\r\nHelio's proven expertise in outcome-driven mission architecture, combined with its experience designing space-qualified hardware, uniquely positions the Company to address the complex challenges of deploying SBSP systems. Building on its work in prior successful space missions, Helio has developed proprietary designs and methodologies for deploying large-scale solar collection arrays in orbit and transmitting energy to Earth via advanced radiofrequency (RF) technologies, to be integrated by its award-winning team.\r\nHelio's newly completed economic modeling incorporates launch cost trends, orbital assembly methodologies, thin-film photovoltaic advancements, RF transmission efficiency, terrestrial rectenna ...
