Basically, you can't exceed the power per steradian of the sun with mirrors. So you would have to fill a large portion of the receiving end's sky to transmit any real power. Which means the mirrors would have to be really close (like they are in heliostats) or if they're far away, they would have to be really huge.

Does not work.

This is something I've wondered about. It seems like one should be able to make a counterexample by focusing an enormous area on a tiny one. Is it just because due to "fuzzy focus," the concentrated focus volume unavoidably grows as the mirror size grows?

And even if it is intended to, what will be the accuracy of this beam? what's to say some orbital junk won't crash into it and "oops" scribble a nice kilometres-wide Lissajous figure of scorched Earth onto our planet, like a hit and run graffiti tag?

Even if, according to WP, NASA is "a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science", the US government has proven itself rather incapable of keeping itself in check, so the odds of it going to turn into "hey we could also turn it into a gigantic solar death ray space weapon", somewhere, at some point given its life cycle, seem pretty high to me?

That said, perhaps people don't consider it feasible, as in, "not in MY world". Sounds dystopian sci-fi and so on.
