Helio Expands Into Space-Based Solar Power to Deliver Continuous Renewable Energy

Helio Corporation has announced a strategic initiative to develop and commercialize space-based solar power (SBSP) systems aimed at providing continuous, renewable energy for terrestrial use.

The move represents Helio’s expansion into new markets by leveraging proprietary intellectual property to generate high-reliability solar power from space. By deploying power-generation assets in orbit and transmitting energy to terrestrial receivers, the company aims to deliver baseload electricity that is unaffected by weather, location, or day-night cycles.

According to Helio, recent advancements in low-cost launch capabilities and power transmission technologies have improved the technical feasibility of SBSP, enabling competitive energy economics, including an attractive levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The company sees the initiative as a potential long-term revenue platform that could enhance shareholder value while positioning Helio as a leader in next-generation renewable energy solutions.

“Space-based solar power aligns directly with our core competencies and engineering expertise,” said Ed Cabrera, CEO of Helio Corporation. “It enables us to address some of the most pressing challenges in the global renewable energy market while unlocking significant long-term value for our shareholders.”

Helio plans to pursue a phased and scalable development strategy, leveraging proven space-qualified systems for NASA and the commercial space industry. The company intends to expand its intellectual property portfolio, prioritize technical demonstrations, and form strategic partnerships. Development efforts are expected to combine invested capital with non-dilutive funding sources, while maintaining disciplined capital deployment and risk management.

“Rapidly evolving launch economics, the maturation of low-cost space systems, and emerging commercial space infrastructure are creating the perfect environment for space-based solar power to become a viable solution for clean, reliable energy,” said Gregory Delory, CTO of Helio Corporation.

Initially, Helio’s SBSP solutions will target government and defense applications, remote and off-grid infrastructure, disaster response, and mission-critical facilities requiring uninterrupted power. Over time, the company plans to explore broader commercial and utility-scale opportunities.

“Our objective is to build a scalable solution that complements our existing business while increasing shareholder returns,” Cabrera added.
