Certainly very interesting, and I haven't really thought this through, but I would say to proceed cautiously. By putting huge solar panels in space to capture sunlight that would otherwise not be delivered to Earth, and beaming that energy to Earth, we are again upsetting the energy balance (ie like burning fossil fuels that stored up energy eons ago). Do we create a new form of global warming? I don't really know.
