(Fully buffered, with heat capacity - > infinity, T ~ (average insolation) ** 1/4; unbuffered, for a simple model in which the sun switches full on for 12 hours then off for the other 12 hours, T ~ 0 at night and ~ (2 * average insolation) ** 1/4 during day, so Tav ~ (0 +2 ** 1/4) / 2 = 0.59, much lower than the buffered case).
