Depending on how much lift you want to allocate to getting the installation set up - solar photovoltaic and solar thermal will both work just fine, especially with a capacitor farm. Remember, solar works a lot better up there than it does down here.

You can reduce the immediate instantaneous power demand by setting a lower acceleration rate and using a longer track.
