Incorrect. I am claiming that converting photons into electricity will result in an incremental cooling effect at the solar farms. Which has been proven empirically and confirmed with modeling.

So glad you finally acknowledged the incremental cooling effect at the solar farms.
Even though the panels may reflect less solar radiation, the photons being converted into electricity more than offset the increased solar radiation absorbed by the lower albedo PV cells. Which is why there was less infrared heat emitted at the solar farms after the panels were installed.
Yes, I would assume 90% efficiency would be a good ball park estimate so 10% heat losses.
Why do you want to cool the planet in the middle of an ice age?
Neither of those technologies have anything close to 90% efficiency. The best numbers for a high pressure turbine, taken in isolation, approach 70% and of course that ignores losses everywhere else along that train. Current solar panels run between 15 and 20%. So what the F do you think has 90% efficiency?Yes, I would assume 90% efficiency would be a good ball park estimate so 10% heat losses.

Something wrong with your browser?What kind of name-plate wattage do we get out of a square meter panel these days? ... is 200 W about right? ...
That is the 7th paragraph in the cited article. I could have included more but I try to be concise.I appreciate what you're trying to say but I think you must have slipped some text when you copied that info. You might want to check that over.
Mea culpa, mea culpa. I misread counties for countries. Carry on.That is the 7th paragraph in the cited article. I could have included more but I try to be concise.
so all electrical equipment is cooling the planet?That's as useful as saying my refridgerator causes an incremental cooling effect.

All those restaurants with walk in freezers inject more than the refrigerators.Not all, but satellites have measured colder temperatures inside refrigerators,
so using them could trigger the next glacial cycle.

Everything except pizza ovens.so all electrical equipment is cooling the planet?
mine's gasEverything except pizza ovens.
I'd love to see your empirical data ...
Your refrigerator doesn’t cause an incremental cooling effect. PV cells do because they convert photons into electricity which would have otherwise produced heat.That's as useful as saying my refridgerator causes an incremental cooling effect.
Incorrect. Never happened.Just like you acknowledged that solar panels have a net warming effect on the planet.
