The disadvantage is that your power generation infrastructure needs replacing at the same time as your chips (at least under current designs) which negates any advantage of needing fewer solar panels at any one point in time and less energy storage.

Also you have to pay for them to be launched, which isn't cheap even if you're SpaceX.
