   Still the energy output of the sun is only about 4e24 whereas its total   
   energy production is 3.8e26. So even with 100% energy conversion we'd   
   only get one tenth of what ordinary solar panels (with 10% conversion   
   efficiency) will give us.   
      
   So I think most Dyson spheres (especially the cheaper ones) will not   
   harvest the neutrino energy at all!
