At the solar flux levels at the point of that probe (light intensity decays by distance squared), efficiency is probably mostly irrelevant. What's the challenge

At the solar flux levels at the point of that probe (light intensity decays by distance squared), efficiency is probably mostly irrelevant. What's the challenge though is how you irradiate all the heat away to provide a large enough temperature delta.
