I think I saw a video once where they said covering a tenth of the Sahara would be enough to power the whole planet, the issue we truly face is transporting it. SBSP would surely have the same issue.
Do we need to transport it? Outside of the Arctic and Antarctic circles, the sun shines year round, wherever power is needed. Storage for nighttime use seems like a bigger (but solveable) challenge.
