1. A space photovoltaic power generation system comprising:

  • a plurality of power satellites each for generating electrical energy from sunlight in space, for generating an incoherent microwave from the generated electrical energy, and for transmitting the incoherent microwave;

    a control satellite having a control means for calculating an amount of phase adjustment for each of the plurality of power satellites based on a measured location of each of the plurality of power satellites, and for generating a control signal to be transmitted to each of the plurality of power satellites, said control signal being used by each of the plurality of power satellites for generating the incoherent microwave; and

    an electric power base located at a remote site for receiving a plurality of incoherent microwaves transmitted from said plurality of power satellites, and for generating electric power from the plurality of incoherent microwaves received.
