You could put a rotating panel on the moons north or south pole and have continuous light year round.

That would probably be more efficient. Honestly if operations expand there’s no reason a hybrid system couldn’t be utilized, as someone else mentioned the fission gives free heat.

Fission gives free heat if you are either a) willing to build a heat-transfer system to get the heat where you want it or b) live right next to a nuclear reactor.

I believe most people would be more comfortable with a heat transfer system, but of course that’s more weight, more cost and more things to break.
