I wonder.  In the absence of scattering due to atmosphere, how can there be
much light in the direction of the sun?  In the direction of the earth is a
different story, but I would doubt the collectors are pointing toward the
earth.  I expect the question is how long would a satellite be in full
shadow in the case when it is in the path of a moon shadow.
