I think you’re a little too dismissive of the 24/7 always available solar power, and the free cooling.
There’s no free cooling in space.
In space there’s no ambient environment to speak of, so you’re limited to radiative cooling, which is massively inferior to refrigeration.
There’s also no 24/7 solar in low Earth orbit, which is where you want to be for latency and serviceable.
