Solars niche is to cover most of the the peak summer daytime load. Solar isn't going to make up any of the base load, nope not going to happen. It's sci-fi. Well have faster than light human travel before we have solar powered everything.
The clear winner is hydro electric. It's the one renewable that's not so renewable, you know how much will be available at least in the immediate future and so reliable you can set your watch by it. But we're capped. Can't build any more, and need the water held to keep people alive.
So next best answer is nuclear.
