Yes, but it works at night! Not sure if you can get the MTBF on Stirling engines higher than on LFP batteries, though.

Just be careful of midbrow high-effort dismissals from the old and wise:) These guys are applying them to solar panels: https://www.i2cool.com/tideflow/uwJVdixI.html https://www.i2cool.com/tideflow/uwJVdixI.html "Case Study 2: Solar Farm in Dubai Problem: Solar panels lost 15–20% efficiency at 55°C+ temperatures. Solution: Coated panels with i2Cool’s film. Results: Panel surface temperature: ▼25.7°C (from 58°C to 32.3°C) Power output: ▲8% (equivalent to adding 2,400 new panels to a 30MW farm)"
