if we assume that both water tanks lose heat at the same rate, so our only objective is to turn light into heat, then because solar panels are pretty far from 100% efficient at turning light into electricity, then it is more likely that absorbing all the light on the right surface into heat is probably closer to 100% than absorbing some of it into electricity, and then converting that electricity into heat
