the solar system at 4.568 billion years.

This would intercept the full 384.6 yottawatts (3.846 × 1026 watts) of the Sun's output; other variant designs would intercept less, but the shell variant represents the maximum possible energy captured for
our solar system at this point of the Sun's evolution.
