A system for wireless power networking, preferably including one or more nodes, such as transmit nodes, receive nodes, relay nodes, and/or hybrid nodes. The system may function to form a power network (e.g., mesh network) configured to transfer power wirelessly between nodes of the system. A method for wireless power networking, preferably including transmitting power, controlling relay nodes, and/or receiving power, and optionally including optimizing power network operation. The method is preferably performed at (e.g., by one or more nodes of) the system, but can additionally or alternatively be performed by any other suitable system(s).
