      That is 300 ft, not 600-1,200 miles.

      The Sun puts more energy on a spy satellite than the array could do.

        The extra distance from the satellite to the earth and back is negligible. It’s also countered by having thousands of sources vs a single one.

        It’s why you can be blinded by looking at the sun a mirror still, it’s not like the mirror becomes the new source and the calculation starts again….
