However a normal monolith costs 5000 more minerals than a solar collector and you give a big advantage to the crystal player in the finite resource game. Also the monilth gets the postive or negative bonus from the planet. The collector is like always on a triple 100% non modifiable base.

You can not create a star if a star exist in the system. Also you cannot create a star in a system with a created planet (even though the star is gone for most other purposes. I am not sure about if it is for solar collectors.

Production bonuses do apply to solar collectors, both race and population

Also out of curiousity I tested collectors. A solar collector place outside or on a constructed world loses access to the star.
