Why not solar? Would that not work, or somehow be inefficient?

Except at the poles, on the lunar surface you have 2 weeks of sunlight, followed by 2 weeks of night. So your solar panels would need a heavy set of batteries.

An equatorial, belt of solar panels would be a cool idea for a sci Fi story, but not practical now.
