1. A space photovoltaic power generation method of generating electrical energy from sunlight and converting the generated electrical energy into microwaves by means of a plurality of power satellites arranged in space, transmitting the microwaves to an electric power base, and generating electric power by means of said electric power base, said method comprising the steps of:

  • dividing said plurality of power satellites into a plurality of groups each for including a number of power satellites;

    adjusting a plurality of microwaves transmitted from the plurality of power satellites included in each of said plurality of power satellite groups so that the plurality of microwaves are in phase with one another; and

    making a plurality of microwaves to be transmitted from each of said plurality of power satellite groups incoherent so that the plurality of microwaves do not interfere with other microwaves transmitted from any other one of said plurality of power satellite groups, and transmitting the plurality of incoherent microwaves to said electric power base.
