The days in outer space are not small enough.
The days in outer space are not long enough.
The solar cells might get wet.
There is not enough concentrated sunlight in outer space to power the cells.

Days don’t apply to space…

It’s typically -455 degrees fahrenheit, so I don’t reckon getting wet will occur any time soon…
Our atmosphere absorbs a lot of the more powerful radiating light energies from the sun. Compared to anywhere else, space is the most concentrated it gets without using a giant magnifying glass there too…
If this question wasn’t multiple choice, the main concern for problems encountered for solar cells in space would be fragmented particles and debris collisions with the cells that may break or ruin the panels.

Solar cells would have to be huge to do jobs requiring much energy. Probably a surpass solution would consist of using the heat differential between sunside and darkside. A slowly rotating gas filled vessel might power a thermal syphon to generate more energy.,

this answer i chose ,..i reckon science will have to either increase the sensitivity of solar cells or use perpetual motion power ( attractive ) to re-power batteries in space .

The solar cells could get wet from the solar rain.

It’s too expensive to bring it up there and to maintain it.

None of the above
