It’s called Lagrange points. Look it up. Basically a device like this sunshade placed at a Lagrange point will maintain a constant position relative to the earth and sun at all times as the earth orbits the sun. There are issues with this idea, but maintaining the position of the shade would not be one of them. Gravity will take care of it.
