Most likely microwave beam. That has been suggested as a means of power transfer for all sorts of orbital generator ideas. Nuclear reactors in orbit, massive solar cell arrays that can be directed to face the sun 24/7, etc. It's a technology we pretty much understand, we just haven't done it on that scale yet.
