Since we’ve already gone down the rabbit hole of extreme pedantry, I should point out that “solar” properly only applies to our own star, sol. The adjective for stars in general is “stellar”. If we ever bring solar panels to the neighborhood of other stars, this is going to be a nasty bit of terminology conflict.
