Excuse me, but only one side of the moon always faces the sun. See:

That turns out not to be the case; the moon is tide-locked to the Earth,
not to the Sun.

But that would be good for growing plants because they could
photosynthesize constantly. Solar collectors would also be very
efficient on the moon - no clouds, constant radiation.
