Orbital solar array sparks nationwide protests in Spain

MADRID, SPAIN (September 29, 2025)—Mass protests have erupted in central Madrid as the flagship energy project of Dypvann, the Large Solar Array (LSA), continues to block sunlight to half of the city. While the other regions of Europe that also face permanent darkness have not yet collapsed into anarchy, Madrid has been a hotbed of tensions for many months.

The LSA is a profound technical achievement, capturing sunlight from a low-Earth orbit of 1000km and beaming it back to a ground-based energy installation with a loss rate of 99.97%. The energy from this innovative power source is enough to boil an impressive 675 kettles once each, or a single kettle 675 times.

Hilde Fjeld, CEO at Dypvann, said, “The people of Europe must decide between clean, off-world energy at a massive loss, or to live with normal day/night cycles and face an environment filled with pollution. I would choose a world of darkness every time.”

The Large Solar Array (LSA) permanently blocks out much of the light in Madrid.

Many citizens of Madrid at the Array Away march have complained that they purchased their homes before the LSA was launched, and that it is simply not fair that their homes are now bathed in constant darkness, whereas other, luckier homeowners—those out of the path of the geosynchronously locked shadow—can enjoy the sunlight as they always have.

David García Rodríguez, a homeowner in the shadow district of Madrid, said, “I go to sleep, it’s dark. I wake up, it’s dark. I go to work, it’s dark. There’s only so much darkness a man can bear in life. I want to feel the sun on my face again, without having to walk 200 feet to the other side of the city.”

Further information

For more information about Sunk Capital funds and our consistent portfolio volatility, please visit sunk-capital.com to obtain your official prospectus. Your investment objectives, the overwhelming risks, the unsustainable fees, the wide array of expenses, and other legally mandated information are all contained within; we implore you to read it carefully and soberly, if only to serve as a legal record of your poor judgment.

Sunk Capital ETF Shares are not redeemable with the issuing Fund other than in very large, needlessly impractical aggregations. Instead, investors must buy and sell Sunk Capital ETF Shares in a quasi-tertiary market, which will happily take a commission to facilitate your questionable decisions. In doing so, the investor will incur brokerage commissions and will frequently pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. We believe this is an essential part of the Sunk Capital experience.

All investing with Sunk Capital is subject to risk and the near-certainty of total capital loss on invested funds.

Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. It merely ensures that you can lose your money across a wider, more varied spectrum of our collective ventures.

Our bond funds are subject to the absolute certainty that an issuer will fail to make payments on time, and that bond prices will plummet because of rising interest rates, or, more likely, because the market has correctly perceived our issuer’s inability to make a single payment.

Our “high-yield” bonds are so named because they are generally in the final stages of collapse. They are therefore subject to an inordinate level of credit risk. We cannot be held liable for anything we say, do or imply. Ever.
