The difference in cooling rate between 290K and 370K isn't as large as you think.

  About 2.6x? Making a radiator >60% smaller is a pretty big diff.

    60% smaller than 'orders of magnitude way too bloody big to ever make a lick of sense' is still 'orders of magnitude too bloody big'. You know what makes an even bigger difference? Having a planet-sized place to dump all your waste heat into.

      Do you think the radiator will need to be bigger than the solar panels?
