Agrivoltaics, saving farms

Converting photons into electricity doesn't mean the photons don't heat the planet.

You're the dumber than the smart photon moron.
How much more waste heat will fossil fuels generate to produce 1000 W of electricity than solar power?
 
What do you think my original claim was?

we are replacing an electrical generation source that doesn't reduce the solar radiation warming the surface of the planet with an electrical generation source that does reduce the solar radiation warming the surface of the planet.

Where is solar radiation being reduced?

Where is solar radiation being reduced?
At the solar farms. Where is the waste heat from generating electricity?
 
Of course I do. So would you care to try again?

Solar panels don't cool the planet.
Solar panels don't reduce solar radiation.
Converting photons from the sun into electricity doesn't
reduce the warming those photons would cause if they hit the ground, instead of a solar panel.

Solar panels reflect less solar radiation back into space and that extra retained solar radiation adds to warming.

If solar panels reflect less radiation back into space why did the satellites measure a 2C cooling effect above the farms during the daytime?

No mention of waste heat in your original claim.

You're changing your original claim?

You don't think solar panels reflect less radiation back into space?

Damn!
 
Solar radiation isn't reduced at the solar farms.
More solar radiation is retained by the panels.
Obviously.
Let me try this again... on planet earth, considering all technologies, where does the vast majority of waste heat from generating electricity come from?

"It's a bad idea to produce less waste heat from fossil fuels during an ice age" is your new claim?

Damn!
Not because the panels reflect less radiation due to albedo. Its because it's being converted into electricity.

Damn!

Are you afraid to answer my question?

Damn!

Are your satellites measuring wavelengths emitted by the Earth or the ones emitted by the Sun?
