That's what the Dyson sphere is... It harnesses radiation from the star to use as power. And it will radiate away waste heat in the infrared range. There's no way around that, no matter how advanced your technology is, you can't beat the second law of thermodynamics.

Well, no actually. The second law of thermodynamics is something you just can't beat, no matter what new physics or technology you come up with.
