With improving technologies i'm sure we can find some way of chewing up nearby asteroid materials, and converting them into large, thin, and horribly inefficient solar panels. Heck, it can be done on the moon.
I would link you to the page of some engineer showing it could be done over vast swathes of the lunar surface but the site in question seems to be down.
