There have been several studies that indicate it could be done, but you have to have a moon base to be really practical. You would probably want to convert the sunlight into microwaves and beam those. The conversion efficiency is really high with a simple diode. If you can find some of the material you need on the moon then a moon base to get the material would make sense but you probably would want the solar energy powerplant in geosynchronous orbit. Tim
