Pretty sure it's in-house developed black paint.
Black paint was causing heat problems.
Sounds like it's more about orientation:
Looks like it is more about the shade. I also wonder if they are able to have a small yaw axis law around the time it is a problem to reduce the reflection on the solar panel, which is hard to shade. That's a reduced power budget but it may be worth it, the solar panels and batteries they are using are quite cheap.
Cool!
