HVDC lines are really neat tech and I fully support solar farms in the Sahara to supply Europe, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's cheaper to launch satellites than to build a global power grid that can provide solar power over night.

I think debris is not a terrible problem right now. We manage to have a large number of satellites in high orbits.
