I totally support nuclear but solar power satellites would also do that. They'd be in geostationary orbit, putting them in sunlight 99.5% of the time.

There are much more problems when it comes to solar satellites. Ease of repair being just the first one that comes to mind. People are averse to nuclear mostly because of ignorance.
