  OP, you should always include the title alt-text with an xkcd comic. Like so:

  Getting the utility people to run transmission lines to Earth is expensive, but it will pay for itself in no time.

    the only issue there is is you have to install the panel during night, it is quite a hot there during the day.

      You could also wait for an eclipse.

  Installing a solar panel on the sun is easier said than done. The closest real example is probably the Parker Solar Probe: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOZhPz92Dic

  the cost to run transmission lines from the earth to the sun is huge, but it’ll pay itself off in no time
