My cursory Google says that it’s not impossible. So why?
EDIT: Answer seems to be that (politics aside) practically it’s cost prohibitive and the tech can’t transfer the energy over the distance required.

As an electrician who has been building solar farms for the past 3 years we have a lot of very large solar farms already. We have multiple farms that can power over 100,000 homes every year with ease. The biggest problem we have at the moment is the electrical grid needs to be upgraded.
But if you mean a truely big solar farm, then we are planing on building one hopefully next year in NT. It will be 10 Giga Watts (biggest in Australia that is running is 330 mega watts) which is absolutely huge but it’s to power Singapore not Australia. Problem with Australia is we have no incentive to build them so only private companies do it
