I think you’re a little too dismissive of the 24/7 always available solar power, and the free cooling.

There’s no free cooling in space.

In space there’s no ambient environment to speak of, so you’re limited to radiative cooling, which is massively inferior to refrigeration.

There’s also no 24/7 solar in low Earth orbit, which is where you want to be for latency and serviceable.

That’s actually something I never considered. In a true vacuum since there are no particles, temperature is undefined.

With the added bonus of there being no ozone layer to absorb UV.
