So place that in one column and getting them into space, producing them in a way that stands for being in space, higher maintenance costs and higher transmission losses from panel to application in the other.

Then reflect on another way to get 5 times more input to a cell: parabolic mirrors with 5 times larger opening then the cell. Mirrors or rockets, which might be more expensive?

Last time I checked (admittedly years ago) the reason you rarely use mirrors to increase input to cells is that they have maximum levels of conversion. You get various technical difficulties instead of more power. Which would of course be harder to repair in space...

This is such an obvious scam.
