Yeah, no night, no atmosphere, constant power output, lot's of real estate, and panels in space do not need heavy superstructure to withstand weather or gravity, thus they could potentially be extremely light for the area (micrometers to tens of micrometers thick at most needed for light absorption). And in far future, if they are built of materials taken from moon or meteorites, you could also bypass most of the lifting cost for even that. Of course, that would need huge scale to justify the R&D to pull it off.
Anyway, space based solar power is the end game. Nothing on earth will ever provide the quantities of power (not even nuclear, fusion or fission) that capturing solar energy can.
