Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a laser configured to generate a laser beam and a laser-aiming module configured to aim the laser beam to be at least in part incident on a remotely located, continuously moving solar cell. The system also includes a controller configured to receive a feedback signal indicating a position of the laser beam relative to the remotely located, continuously moving solar cell and instruct the laser-aiming module to adjust the aiming of the laser beam based on the feedback signal.
