Introduction
Silver High Energy TM
o My company plans to verify, validate, explore, and produce microwave energy from Space as an alternative energy commodity in order to:
o Generate and sell microwave energy directly to an intermediary third-party consumer and some end-user consumers may be required to purchase their own equipment.
o Offer service options to end-user consumers to resell, rollover or divert their electricity back through an intermediary or third-party; these options will require adjusting the energy generated by my company in return for credit or other benefit.
Business Model
Revenue Streams
Green Energy of the Futureo Space Solar Power (SSP) systems demand two main
components: wireless power transfer (WPT), usually via an orbiting satellite; and, a ground station, usually a large receiving antenna (a.k.a. rectifying antenna (rectenna) or utility grid station). WPT components are made up of these elements: (a) solar cells for harvesting the sun’s energy as direct current (DC); (b) amplifier or oscillator to convert DC into microwave energy; and, (c) antenna to transmit or radiate microwave energy from space to a ground station.
o All WPT components are COTS available, but my company would like to make them smaller, 3D-printable, and customized for nanosatellites.
Space Solar Power
Scant Gains Made on CO2 Emissionso Did you know "The world has made almost no
progress over the past 20 years in reducing the carbon content of its energy supplies, despite over $2 trillion of investment into renewable-energy projects such as wind and solar power.“ [International Energy Agency statement, WSJ; 2013]
o “Space solar power can take advantage of our current and historic investment in aerospace expertise to expand employment opportunities in solving the difficult problems of energy security and climate change.” [National Space Society; 2015]
Climate Change
What about Space Solar Power?
Primarily Academic o Academic includes several Low Earth Orbit (LEO) WPT
concept designs:• NASA, PII. S0094-5765(01)00167-9, 1999• LLNL, LLNL-TR-412782, May 2009• NASA NAIC Phase I Project, September 2012
o Exception is Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) with investment greater than $20B to deliver SSP within 25 years.
o All of the above concept designs are monolithic structures with limited modularity and control. Additionally, the microwave frequency choice is commonly in the S-band or C-band (2-5 GHz) which interfere with existing wireless technologies.
Competition
SSP-MINAo My concept/idea Space Solar Power – Magnetic
Interlocking Nanosatellite Array (SSP-MINA) was designed with modularity and control in mind. Nanosatellites provide a low-cost entry to Space without requiring separate infrastructure for deployment.
o Additionally, this alternative scheme may provide for delivery of gigawatts of power from LEO to a ground station by utilizing a unique, unpopulated microwave frequency in the Ku-band to avoid interference with competing wireless technologies.
Solution
Percentage of Market Share of U.S. energy market to Capture
o 123 M households using 10,908 kWh/yearo Resulting in 1.34 T kWh/year household consumption
o Market Share to capture in MINA phase: <0.5% (0.000745%)
o Market Share to capture in MINA 2 phase: <0.5% (0.003%)
o Market Share to capture in MINA 3 phase: <0.5% (0.0067%)

Business Growth Assumptions: Design of Ku-band Shaped Beam Planar
Array for Nano-Satellites Prepared for Illinois Small Business Development Center
UIC Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies By James Woods CEO & Founder, Silver High Energy TM
Business Model Business model should incorporate at least two revenue streams: 1) my company will generate and sell microwave energy directly to an intermediary third-party consumer and some end-user consumers may be required to purchase their own equipment; 2) end-user consumers may demand service options to resell, rollover or divert their electricity back through an intermediary or third-party; these options will require adjusting the energy generated by my company in return for credit or other benefit
General Business Assumptions Energy variables utilized for modeling cannot predict the future and unknown uncertainty will
be introduced Developed models will be used to acquire capital for investment in my business concept, which
is expected to be in the millions of dollars Serious investment risks exist: no sales, family and friends investment exhausted, utility patent
in-progress, sole-proprietor with limited entrepreneurial experience, and rough calculations Despite investment risks, advantages are: no debt, no partners, business concept is well
received by industry experts in the field, provisional patent approved, personal subject matter expertise and related academic education, and more than 15 years career experience in systems
Capital investment may be raised from a variety of sources: local and federal incentives, grants (SBIR, STTR, FOA…etc.), venture capitalist, or angel investors
Any capital investment will require a management or advisory committee Venture Capital or Angel Investment may require an offer of ownership interest in my company Input data may be leveraged for business models: economic data (e.g. Moody’s Analytics, city-
data, EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2014, and EIA International Energy Outlook 2014), and scientific data (Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, Atmospheric Research Measurement Program, FCC Office of Engineering and Technology, and CubeSat Specifications)
Energy accounting revolves around energy consumption and costs to generate the energy o Green credits (e.g. tax incentives, credits, and rebates) and fiscal stimulus are available o GAAP accounting for green credits and fiscal stimulus fall under ASC 740 o Diagnostic metrics are necessary for continual improvement in cost management
