Designer Eli Hariton has conceptualized an innovative method that will integrate modern solar technologies to help solve the ever-present energy crisis. He has proposed creating solar arrays that are anywhere from 10 to 20 football fields in length and sending them into orbit around the earth. Solar arrays at that proportion will be capable of producing hundreds of thousands of kilowatts per hour.
