Economics changes all the time. The launch costs are supposed to come down. The cost of getting land for the cells and transmission lines goes up all the time, which makes orbit actually more attractive. The weight/cost/efficiency of panels gets better all the time.

And the efficiency! 10X the solar flux outside the atmosphere! And in the right orbit, 2X again because of course night quits being an issue. So a potential 20X better utility per square.
