IMHO #DysonSpheres and #Superflares are pretty incompatible. I seriously doubt anybody would consider them commercially viable. Even Elon probably would not build one. And, even worse, no insurance would cover things like superflares.

#superflares seem to happen as often as once a century, according to a survey of sun-like stars, and might be accompanied by particle storms that could have devastating consequences for electronics on Earth. As the last big solar storm to hit Earth was 165 years ago, we might be in line for another soon

The sun may spit out giant solar flares more often than we thought

A survey of more than 56,000 sun-like stars reveals that “superflares” that could play havoc with electronics on Earth may happen every 100 to 200 years and the last big one to hit us was in 1859

Extreme Sonnenstürme: Erhöhtes Risiko für solare Superflares entdeckt

Eine neue Studie des Max-Planck-Instituts für Sonnensystemforschung zeigt: Sonnenähnliche Sterne produzieren etwa alle 100 Jahre gewaltige Strahlungsausbrüche. Diese "Superflares" könnten auch von unserer Sonne ausgehen und massive Auswirkungen auf die Erde haben.
