IMHO, using solar power on Callisto is really an exercise in futility. As we get further from the Sun, more dependance will be on using nuclear energy. Even on Mars, the irradiance is bordering on too low to make effective use thereof...

Nuclear is an option to consider, I think especially on starting settlements.

Here's the link to an excellent and short report on a NASA study for the exploration of Callisto. It utilizes thermonuclear propulsion to get there and has a 250 KW nuclear reactor included.

From previous threads the Chinese might have a Tianwen-4 also known in some news reports the Gan De a planned Chinese twined interplanetary mission to study the Jovian system and something else, maybe one probe or spacecraft studying Ganymede or 'Callisto' or another possibly sharing a launch with a spacecraft which will make a flyby of Neptune or Uranus or maybe study a Moon of one of these bodies.

Another mission is en route by ESA already launched by the European Space Agency (ESA), from Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana South America.
