2) how do you store the energy and send it back?"

Then...

"If it was easy to channel energy back to earth, again the moon would be the best bet. it would be cheaper to build nuke power plants in the moon and send the energy back. Meltdowns? Who cares, nobody lives on the moon.

Isn't that a contradiction? You say can't transmit energy from orbit, but then you go on to say that if you could, we should do it from the moon? That's just odd.

Then as far as cost: you actually believe it would be cheaper to send up a manned crew with 100 of tons of manufacturing equipment, to turn moon dirt into concrete, then safely transport the nuclear material via moon shot for it's operation? Instead of putting a satellite, built on earth, into orbit that would unfurl ultra thin solar material.

Really, you honestly believe that?

Your logic is lacking in so many ways.
