Exactly. Look at pictures of the ISS: it has radiators. It has to get rid of its heat, and it works. And those radiators aren't even as big as the solar panels. The radiators really aren't the problem.

The problem is scale. The ISS has about enough power for a single server rack. If you want entire datacenters in space, you're going to need thousands of times the scale of the ISS.
