The issue with solar for stuff on the moon is that it's night is very long compared to earth, so anything you power with it needs to be able to shut down (and also get very cold without powered heaters) without harm over that time, or have a comparatively large amount of energy storage. Unless you're at one of a handful of spots at the poles where the sun almost never fully sets.
Just put it on the light side if the moon - problem solved.
That's fine, just give the moon a solar panel belt around it's equator.
"It's noon somewhere"
Some Japanese company apparently suggested doing just that at one point
I have my doubts
But my cool ass scifi future ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
You're right. Better use some wind turbines too.
