Scientists from different countries and organizations are beginning to draw attention to the fact that a solar power grid, spanning throughout the globe, would have enormous benefits in store for all countries deciding to partake in the project.
 

Because it stretches all over the world, the planned network will not need too much storing capacity, as the electrical current will be transmitted non-stop through a network of channels. Some would compare this type of structure to the Internet. A network of solar powered electrical plants will deliver energy to designated places throughout the globe. The main idea behind this concept is that the Sun always shines somewhere on Earth.
