What about capturing heat form the sun in the winter? Bay Area is a good example for that with sunny but cold days. Would those pockets of warmth we find in winter from sheltered sunny areas and attic spaces be reflected away too? It seems to me that capturing power from the sun in the summer and storing in maybe possible in the future local batteries is preferable to reflecting away the power? Or both?

When you want heat you turn the black side out to the sun, when you want cooling you put the reflective side out.
