The comment you were replying to mentioned this. Yes you cant remove heat via convection, but you can use radiators to emit heat as radiation into space.

Depending on how hot/dense/clocked you run your compute, the Radiators take _less_ surface area than the solar panels, so you can have them back to back and the radiators will take less space.
Obviously there are some unanswered questions but there is clearly a path forward.
You need HUGE radiators to emit a lot of low-temp waste heat into space. That kills this idea right there.
