Maybe just lay plastic film over an area, secure the rim with dirt and
add heat
+ vacuum pump.

Not necessarily. Solar or thermal panels laid out on a exterior crater
rim
near the pole may receive power about 50% of the time. This can be
beamed via
microwave either directly or through a transponder to many line of sight
locations inside a crater or whatever. Ditto for mirrors.

Sorry,
didn't read your "claim regime" ms.
