Call me pessimistic, but how much solar radiation is going to be available in the clouds at night? Not to mention what the surface temperature will be on a warm sunny day.
 
Bonus is that you can use your wing as a griddle for the sunny fly-in breakfasts. Any surface that retains 95% of the solar radiation is going to get HOT on a sunny day...
 
Night would be a problem but I suspect that there may be more solar radiation in the clouds during the day than one might suspect. Can't hurt & might help. It also doesn't appear to prohibit a couple more conventional anti-ice systems in conjunction with it.
