MIT solar PV technology scalable, printable, incorporable into fabrics

It's cute that you think that one study which supposedly shows cooling over a solar farm means that solar power cools the planet. It reminds me of the simplistic thinking of Greta Thunberg.

I said electricity usage from solar power doesn't cool the planet. FLoT.

Reducing albedo from .40 to .05 does warm the planet.

This study says it's warmer over solar panels. It even explains why.

The preliminary results indicated that summer noon incoming solar radiation (S) is ~1000 Wm-2 and the desert surface albedo is on average 0.40. The mean solar panel field albedo is 0.23 (with panels projected area about 1/3rd of the PV field area), which is translated to ~170 Wm-2 higher S absorption by the PV field. A large fraction of the energy is converted to sensible heat flux with mid-day H values of 450 Wm-2, compared with 250 Wm-2 in the desert, or about 200 Wm-2 of extra heating above the PV field.

"Solar panels forest" and its radiative forcing effect: preliminary results from the Arava Desert

The production of electricity from solar radiation should replace power production by burning fossil fuel and help reduce atmospheric concentrations of CO2. However, large photovoltaic (PV) fields can also influence the climate in more direct ways. The albedo of solar panels is low to allow...

Too bad for those guys that the study conducted using satellites after this study disproved their work.

A satellite measurement that shows cooling over a solar farm doesn't mean that solar power cools the planet. It's cute that you think so.

Lower emissivity means the panels are retaining more heat than the ground surface. LOL!

You want to change your claim yet?

Or converting more solar radiation into electricity. Hence the incremental cooling effect measured at six solar farms.

The key to cooling the Earth is lower emissivity. LOL!

You mean its not ending all electricity usage?

The satellites aren't showing it's cooler, they're showing it's absorbing more solar energy.

Hilarious!!!
