Not exactly. All you have to do is to jump-start the whole process by sending robots and mining equipment to a small planet. Getting raw materials to orbit would be relatively easy, because of lower gravity force, and initial harvested energy would be delivered to mining equipment on the planet, greatly increasing output over time, as more and more energy collectors orbit the sun. Once you're done with one planet, move to another. Rinse and repeat.
The harvesting of the raw materials is easy in comparison, but you still need power to do it (an unbelievable amount of power). You can't be spending centuries chewing through a planet.
It would have to be done in a scale of a few years (worst case). Longer than that and you get into the "fix it stage" where your equipment is breaking down so often that you can't possibly replace it fast enough to keep a forward going pace.
Not possible in a few years right now, but closer to a century. If things break, that's what you have robots for. And once we have the capability to actually send robotic mining crew to a different planet, I think we would be capable of building them to last a few decades.
You have all the power available already, from nearby star.
Solar power is great, but this only goes so far, you have storms/clouds etc on planets. All of which effect solar power. If we're talking CrapWars death-planet thing, this is completely unreasonable, as discussed.
Planet like Mercury hardly has any atmosphere so solar power is perfectly applicable there. Venus would be more challenging, but we can always convert solar into microwave and beam it to the station on surface. Sulphuric acid in atmosphere poses bigger problem than supplying energy there.
Originally we were talking about Kardaschew Type II civilization, which could potentially build Dyson sphere (rather impossible), but more realistically would build Dyson swarm, and that's something even humans could build in about a century.
