The idea of collecting solar power in space and transmitting it to earth or any other desired destination in space is gaining more and more interest also considering the increasing world-wide energy demand that will probably double in the course of the present century. Several studies have been carried out by different Nations, resulting in different configurations to be applied to various type of mission scenarios covering from the tents of Watt for a planet rover battery charging, to the GigaWatt of power for a "Mega Station". On other hand the involved technologies are rapidly evolving introducing new arguments in favor of such a concept From the above the idea derives for a flexible and user friendly tool in support to preliminary sizing of Solar Power Systems based on chosen mission, technology and component performances; this paper summarised the activities performed in 2003 by Alenia Spazio and University of Alessandria in the framework of a specific ESA contract.
