It would be interesting what could be done by h4x0ring them coming solar
satellite fleet with phased array realtime beamforming. Sure, rectenna
arrays are big, and no one likes birds falling burning out of the sky so
the flux will be kept below critical... but how much of that spot is under
software control?

The bad part is that available power is GW..TW nonpulsed, and could keep
illuminating the target until the cows come home.
