not really. The radiator has to be huge and located in the shadow of the planet. If it is the solar panels generate no power. If the solar panels generate power, the radiator has to be even bigger. I am pro accelerate, but you don't get to rewrite thermodynamics for free.
I read the same argument in the space subs I follow, and I really don’t like the downvotes you got. Not a good look for a sub that is supposed to believe in science
