A few example large solar plants in the US seems to have ~500MW capacity, ~30% capacity factor (so ~200MW effective capacity), and taken 2-5 years to build [1][2][3].
A nuclear plant will probably have multiple 1GW reactors, with very high capacity factors. I think your numbers are very optimistic.
