Exactly, there's like a million other energy sources to exhaust before putting solar panels in space. The idea is so bad It's not worthwhile even bashing it.
For instance, taking stuff to space is super mega expensive.
It is so expensive that I would argue it would be a lot cheaper to put solar panels into the ocean.
And since I've brought up ocean - the ocean has immense energy and if you don't have land because you are in the middle of ocean, perhaps it would be better to pursue ocean power.
