Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is planning to harvest solar energy from space to power its artificial intelligence data centres on Earth. The Facebook and Instagram owner has signed a deal with US start-up Overview Energy to source up to one gigawatt of solar energy, the equivalent of powering 750,000 homes. Meta has partnered with Overview as it prepares to launch a fleet of up to 1,000 satellites to collect the sun’s rays using solar panels in space. This power will then be converted into low-intensity infrared beams, which can be directed at photovoltaic panels on Earth and converted into energy. Telegraph

These won’t wear the Land Rover badge, and will be engineered and manufactured in China through a joint venture with Chery – the parent company of Omoda and Jaecoo.
