Is it beyond the resources of NASA to deploy a 100m x 100m solar array in
geosynchronous orbit to produce one megawatt of power, to study
feasibility, economics and problems if any. Perhaps the space station crew
can assemble a deployable unit in their spare time, boost it to
geosynchronous orbit and then deploy it there.

(I continue to be a bit nervous about being zapped by microwaves)
