On my way to Vulco, at the distance of Sergeaas orbit, my solar panels keep exploding (in career mode).
They are fully upgraded and the max heat shield is applied (72?). Even though they are in the shadow of the fuel tank - one solar panel is getting about 25% pointing efficiency and taking heat damage. I tried several things, it keeps happening again and again. I don't think this is intended behaviour, is it?
Screenshot 1 is the location of where it happens. Screenshot 2 is the craft in the position it happens.
Bug
Done
Found in 1.0.8.0

@Toinkove I know it is closer to the sun and hence they heat up more. That's why I applied FULL MAXIMAL heat shielding to the panels and they are FULLY upgraded. That is as much as I can do, since all the Techs are unlocked that help me do that.
I mean that would be a terrible design choice, if going to Sergeaa or Vulco is impossible since exploding solar panels keep destroying the crafts.
But do I understand that solar panel arrays have a better chance of surviving? And I don't mean closed, because I want to use them for engery production.

@Toinkove I don't care if it weights more or cost more. I'm fine with that as long as I have the option to use some solution to actually go to the inner planets.
BTW 250°C is no temperature a good solar panel should explode at and take out a whole space craft.
