How big of a solar field will it take to run an ISRU plant on Mars? Will the first couple starships be mostly packed with solar / batteries / ISRU gear? Would you run nuclear for ISRU / colony power if given the opportunity?

Depends on total system efficiency & how long the propellant plant can run to refill Starship, so 1 to 10MW as a rough guess
