Solar Panels detect Direct Sunlight at night

[Kerano]

KSP 1.0, fresh install, new career, no mods.

As per the image below, solar panels detect "Direct Sunlight" despite the fact that the craft is on the night side of Minmus.

The higher panels detect being "blocked" from sunlight by the lower panels, and the Sun is on the direct opposite side of Minmus. The behavior is effectively what would be expected if the craft were at this orientation in deep space.

My craft generates enough electricity exclusively by solar panels at night to run a dual drilling rig + ISRU converter.

This is actually an old bug when craft that are landed on dark side of the planet, moon, asteroid act as they are dicetly exposed by the sun.

This is a known bug which occurs when solar panels are very close to the surface.

Although, those seem pretty far up. How far up can you make them before they realise they're on the dark side?
