Default Oversimplifying?

If you CAN re-aim your array to a less-productive patch of sky, then you could easily get rid of a few stray BTUs per second with a high-temperature pump and a patch of uninsulated pipe to put the heat someplace (ground, swimming pool, etc)

In other words, your controller's response to an over-temperature tank should be:

1. Re-aim array to reduce input of BTUs.
2. Activate "heat waster" pump to shed some BTUs.
3. Return to normal activity when "Safely" below overheat Temperature
