- ben_w 8y agoSunlight is ~1kW/m^2. That’s solar aligned area rather than land area, so you need to generate about 10^17 watts before the laws of thermodynamics become something you cannot deal with just by using your astronomical supply of cheap energy to cheaply manufacture and install a sun shade at L1.
