I don't think they're going to do that, or any other power options as there are plenty of power options to pick from, with solar panels being the starting point, and nuclear reactors being the "top dogs". Not to mention that realistically "lunar" panels would still be horribly inefficient at night compared to solar panels during the day, thus a complete waste of time/materials and would still be solar panels.

In Freedom mode, 2-4 solar panels at about 50 meters down will power everything you might need unless you're recharging multiple heavily depleted power cells and/or batteries.

In Survival mode you're going to need 3-6 bioreactors because you're going to need power for multiple fish farms (alien containments with 2+ of same fish) and also a water filtration machine, although you may want to power that seperately with four solar panels or you could risk wasting lots of power.
