This is a scene not too far away in the future, maybe 50 years or so. the 
dirty energy sources coal and oil are nearly empty, and mankind has finally 
started to place large solar power stations in Mercury and Venus distance to 
the sun. Those stations transmit the permanently huge amount of energy to 
the Earth by radio.

This picture shows many of the large 2km-diameter solar power stations, one 
just newly arriving and adjusting into the arrays of stations. Neccessary 
power for their propulsion and interior comes straight from the sun. 
Probably there will not be humans needed, everything automatic (which is 
logical due its close position to the sun and far distance to Earth). You 
can see, in a distance, the planet Mercury.

There are two images: one the final version, the other one how the render 
result is originally. I am highly unsatisfied with the low contrast of the 
white parts of the station, it is like ambient or getting some light. I 
don't know, why. Maybe someone can help me to make it to a better scene. The 
scene code is attached, as well.
