You answered it yourself, a sun synchronous orbit negates the need for large battery systems.

That would make communicating with bits on Earth kind of painful though; I suppose that would work for a server that serves other sun-synchronous objects, but that seems like a rather small market.

You can have sun synchronous around an earth orbit. L1 would do nicely

>>mook+16
Maybe.

If starcloud integrated with something like starlink, using the laser inter satellite links to distribute ground comms across a network of satellites, then the datacenter maintaining a direct link to a base station is probably a non-issue for most purposes.
