For cooling, you'd want a well-insulated "flat plate" solar collector.
This would provide a large surface for radiating heat into the sky at a
wide range of angles. You wouldn't want a low-E surface on the panel,
because this prevents radiative cooling. My first experiment would be a
flat-black metal plate, foam insulation behind and double-glazed glass
in front.
