It is simply not practical to get solar power from far-way stars. Sure, the light could be concentrated, but there are much cheaper ways to get energy, including getting energy from our own Sun.
In the event that at some time in the future a mission goes to Antares, then they may get power from Antares, once they are close. The amount of power obtained will depend on how close they are to the star.
