OUR TEAM

Solar Space Technologies (SST), is a recently-formed Australian company that is planning the development and commercialisation of the technology for base load solar power generation from outer space in or from Australia, including the deployment of solar power generation satellites, ground receiver sites and associated infrastructure to provide base load energy for Australia and the world. 

SST is planning to develop and deploy the first solar power satellite (SPS) using these technologies, and to eventually develop a total capacity of at least 18 gigawatts of electricity for the Australian electricity market and for the export of energy from Australia to other countries. 

To accomplish this goal, and to do it in less than a decade, SST proposes the creation of an Australia- United States of America (USA) SPS commercial- government partnership, with additional participation by Japan, Canada, New Zealand and others. 

SST is led by founder Serdar Baycan of Melbourne in the state of Victoria, Australia; with the support of Mr. John C. Mankins of California, USA.

Mr. Baycan is a respected architect, with extensive experience in formulating, obtaining funding for and implementing numerous building projects over the past 25-plus years.

Mr. Mankins is widely recognised as a globally- known expert in the field of SSP and space technology management; he wrote the book “The Case for Space Solar Power”, published in 2014.

SST and MSTI are now reaching out to various leaders in industry, academia, the financial sector and Government in Australia, the USA and elsewhere to build a strong and resilient partnership to accomplish SPS-Australia Project, and bring a new and important climate-sustainable energy option forward.
