This would actually not be true at sufficiently high latitudes in the
winter hemisphere, except that some circulation in the upper atmosphere is driven by kinetic energy generated within the troposphere (small amount of energy involved) which, so far as I know, doesn't result in much of a global time average non-radiative energy flux above the tropopause, but it does have important regional effects, and the result is that the top of the stratosphere is
warmer than the tropopause at all latitudes in all seasons so far as I know.

winter solstice would reduce the annual average insolation (because that
