If you're going to be putting an industry in space, your best option is to process something that has low mass to save on launch costs. Conveniently, data has no mass.
While beam solar power is somewhat viable with Starship, if you beam processed data instead of raw power, you don't need a "killer cancer beam of doom" looming over you.
