I was thinking more along the line of robots creating solar “sheets” many many miles long and stitching them together automatically. Think of a printer that uses a roll.
If the sheets are damaged the robots would crawl or use electric propulsion to get to the damaged area. Then scavenge the remaining material and repair the sheet. The robots may even repair each other. All 100% powered by the sun with eventually zero human intervention.
We could build a solar panel Dyson Sphere, which would capture and send all the power we would ever need! No more greenhouse gases reflecting light (losing energy)!
(Note: please remember to keep your robot overlords happy.)
