Wouldn’t the earth still get in the way of the sun or it’s too far away?

>>hartat+dU1
Normally yes, but the L1 Lagrange point always would have an unobstructed view of the sun. Granted, L1 is a lot further away than LEO (~3x the distance to the moon), so that makes it harder and more expensive to get to

>>diabee+U62
You don't need to go that far. That's what sun-synchronous orbits are for.
