Space-based solar power contains little intrinsic advantage that we can get “only from space.” It looks like a wash at best, and the astronomers would say “don’t bother.” https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2012/03/space-based-solar-power/

Yeah, but what I found thought provoking is what if you send the solar panels and the datacenter as well for training. No need to transmission of power down to earth. I guess then it becomes a heat dissipation and hardware upgrade and maintenance. But again, thought provoking.
