The other problem is, what if the beam becomes misaligned, maybe from a freak asteroid impact on the satellite, or a misfired thruster. That's a lot of microwave radiation (or whatever the beam would be) blasting something other than a collector.

Haven't you ever played SimCity 2000?

Yes. Guess why I never used microwave power generators.
Fusion, hydroelectic, solar, and wind for me.
