Unfortunately a lot of people on the left are still blind to just how many workers get killed by solar panels, since it's mostly routine maintenance workers getting fried or falling off a roof, and not spooky science accidents.
So an antenna picks up electromagnetic waves from a broadcast station, these radio waves are used to encode sound, and since they are photons they also carry a bit of energy. Transmitting power wirelessly would work like this except you'd use a higher frequency, probably microwave, and up the intensity significantly.
I think the idea is that it's not a tight beam at all, but rather a very diffuse and spread out signal that reaches an "antenna" that is basically a wire mesh covering several square miles.
Oh, I wish.

large solar plants are on the ground. solar panels on roofs are just bougie libs pretending to be green.

You can tighten the beam an make a poor man's orbital beam cannon if you want though. So that is fun.
