Thanks for this concise comparison. As others have noted, you also need to account for batteries, and battery churn. When the batteries need to be replaced, you have quite a bit of additional payload that needs to be delivered. I am sure that nuclear fuel rods (or pellets, or whatever fuel type they are using) will be dramatically lighter and easier to transport.
Dust will need to be cleaned off of the panels daily, which adds further expense associated with dedicated external missions to the array of panels.
Most of the ancillary considerations weigh in favor of the nuclear option.
