It's a rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave
Yeah, obviously.
It's not really obvious to anyone who hasn't heard of the concept
Is this actually what a 'microwave' would be in this context? I don't know about this kind of stuff so not sure if this is a joke
It would be transfered via microwaves, that is, EM waves with micrometer frequencies.
