Don't need to go that far, we could put giant solar panels that would soak up sunlight 24/7 and transmit that to earth. I see it work on small scale experiments, I really think that is SpaceX's ultimate game plan. Only those with capacity to deliver payloads at scale will be capable of building these energy stations.

How they would deal with objects, meteorites and repairing is another concern but I'd imagine it won't be a giant solar panel but modular ones that are floating in cluster

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have a lot of it already.
