Company planning to sell “sunlight-after-dark” under fire after California testing

A space startup has come under fire after demonstrating its plan for “sunlight as a service” in California. There are some places where, at certain times of the year, the sun doesn’t entirely set, giving them 24 hours of sunlight. It presents unique opportunities, especially in the way of sports. In the United States, though, there is a company that is trying to make that a reality for more people. Back in 2024, Reflect Orbital raised some eyebrows after revealing plans to sell “sunlight-after-dark” through the use of mirrors in space.
