The array is pointed "up" at noon, but the sun isn't overhead. Later in the day, the sun moves from south to north and removes some of the effect. At sunset on the equinox (and other times when the sun is due west or east), there would be no dark cells. In the early mornings and late afternoons between spring and autumnal equinox, you would see the dark cells at the north ends of the receiver lines. The corollary is that there is light spilling off the ends opposite the dark cells. The dark cells at the (south) end of the receiver lines is just geometry.
