It's going to be quite a bit harder to produce adequate power on Mars with solar. Earth receives about 1000 watts per square meter at the surface versus Mars which receives about 590 watts per square meter of sunlight.
Cracking rocks with a laser drill requires quite a bit of power. Might be more efficient with a regular drill, especially given the levels of dust blown around that could mess with laser lenses.
Solution:
Nuclear powerplant(yeah, yeah, I know that nowadays anyone hardly wants to hear about this but this is an actual solution that actually works and solves all the problems that you mentioned)
