If there were a way to do this without using the solar-based ability, I would have put this in my Proportions mod. Sadly, I don't think there is a way to mod this currently without linking to the number of suns in the system, which to me was worse than the abstraction of just adding more supplies to represent generation.
The easy solution is to make one star in every system, hidden as a pure-black masked square. Then your reactors always work.
When your reactors generate as much as they store, there is no diff between single, binary and trinary systems.

The engines still require fuel to run them. Their high supply "storage" compared to "Supply Storage" components reflects their ability to generate energy as they burn fuel.
Sooo ... the fact that they generate energy from fuel ... means that they can store more fuel than a dedicated powerplant/fuel tank.
