You also need lots of supply storage on those bases, but that is a design issue.

If you make the supply generation per kt reasonable, then you don't need to use any restrictive mounting schemes.
Just making it 10x the size and 12x the supply generation of a solar panel should be plenty.
More for convenience, than anything else. Having a big solar panel component instead of a huge pile of little ones keeps things simple.
