High initial investment costs are expected to be a major restraint for the space-based solar power market. The development and deployment of space-based solar power systems require significant investment in research, technology development, and infrastructure. These high costs may deter some potential investors and limit the growth of the market, especially in countries with limited financial resources.
Regulatory and legal challenges are also anticipated to pose a restraint on the growth of the space-based solar power market. The deployment of space-based solar power systems involves complex legal and regulatory issues related to space governance, satellite deployment, and wireless power transmission. Overcoming these challenges and ensuring compliance with international laws and regulations may delay the commercialization of space-based solar power and limit its widespread adoption.
