Solar PV battery combo is just a giant spatial transmission line system for a fusion reactor. For high density applications, fission and/or fusion make more sense.
It's just that we're close enough to the Sun, and that a lot of us are living in low-density residences.
Solar ray density reduces to half of what we get on Earth on Mars our closest outer planet, simply from inverse square law. And deep space people always said it goes down so fast a space nuke is a hard requirement for Jupiter and beyond. There might be ways to make it work on Moon, but PV plus battery is just rural inner planets thing, not the way forward or anything. It's just temporary hype technology.
