Heat can only be radiated in space. Also, think about it, earth is in space. Heat is only ever radiated or temporarily dumped into sinks such as planets, which eventually radiate it.

Note that for satellites, 100-200W /m² is about the peak radiation rate as well.
Radiators
for space-based power would be a massive cost alone.
