Have a smaller disk (but still freaking big) face onto a red giant.
Perpetual dusk at noon.
Far side would be dead, or no life as we know it Jim, but the thermal
difference could be a power source.

Perhaps have a smaller energy source in an inner orbit. When its between
the Red Giant and the disk we get day light or summer depending on the
period.
