Yes, it is possible, but very inefficient. Electrical energy is converted to laser light is only about 1% efficient, and then reconversion of the light back into electricity by solar cells would only be about 20%, or perhaps up to about 50% via steam generator. Total efficiency much less than 1%.

Much more efficient, and proposed for space launch vehicles and for transmission of power to planet surface from an orbiting solar power station, is via conversion to microwave energy.

sure. photograph voltaic potential is a instant tranmission, so is Microwave. Any electromagentic tranmission may be used to create engery. you are able to via instant extension cords now. You plug piece into the wall, the different piece into the device and viola it works. On a extensive scale its fantastically impratical suited now. The trick to instant transmission of potential is the tranmister/receiver setup. the different problem is the engery interior the wave itself. To transmit via utilising microwave or different way, is fantastically risky except executed suited. There are clarification why you do no longer prefer to be close to an energetic radar with steel on.

no. laser is photon transmission. photon is uncharged. no net current can be propagated.

the only way to transmit electricity over non-conductors, is to fire charged particles at high speeds. alpha particles or electrons for example.

it is hard to imagine any more dangerous method of energy transfer. airplanes have nearly crashed from small lasers being pointed at them. one of sufficient power to send a reasonable amount of power would desintegrate anything that got in its path.

It is expensive, if possible it required external source of energy required efficiency will be -ve .No profit
