That will probably require finding an efficient way to extract building materials in space (possibly from the moon), moving those materials to where you want your station (probably a Lagrange point), and building with those materials. These are non-trivial problems. Also solar is far more efficient in space, without any annoying atmosphere in the way, it makes perfect sense to use it there.
