There's already a solar array and cooling system on the ISS, which is scheduled to be de-orbited fairly soon. The solar array is said to have a peak generation capacity of about 240kW (though the average is about 100kW, as the system apparently alternates between gaining power from the solar array white heating up, and rejecting heat to the cold of space while in the shade of the Earth), so all that would be required is to send up a buttload of NVidia modules to prototype a 10% scale version of the system envisioned, and of course, enough lifting power to keep the mess from de-orbiting in an uncontrolled manner anytime soon.
