I am not sure that smashing a supercapacitor (whatever that is) into the earth at twice orbital velocity will really do that much to help anything...

You could put a solar collector into earth's orbit so it would always be in the sunshine and <transfer the energy in some way>. However no one has a way of making this seem economic.
