I would think so, but it would take time. We're just now figuring out how to not only harness, but store solar energy for future use. And that's with the filtering that the atmosphere does. If you were to do the same, you'd need giant collectors, with augmented sheilding to protect the internal circuitry from shorting out due to other waves of radiation emitted with the flares.

We've got the base of how to solve most our energy problems without going into space. Let's go one step at a time here.
