China has announced plans to build a giant solar power space station, which will be lifted into orbit piece by piece using the nation's brand-new heavy lift rockets.

China's plan to build a massive solar power station in space could generate more energy in one year than all of Earth's remaining oil reserves. The proposed 0.6-mile-wide solar array, which will orbit 22,

China plans to create a massive photovoltaic installation in space. They predict that the project could gather more energy in a year than the entire world's oil reserves. This ambitious plan envisions the construction of a colossal space station powered by solar energy.

Reservoirs could host enough floating solar panels to produce up to 1,476 terawatt hours of electricity annually.
