Solar panels and sheep

See post #135.

That doesn't clear up your confusion about the conservation of energy.

Yes, things get hot in the sun then they give off heat during the day. Solar panels do not violate this basic principle.

Not only are solar panels getting hot by the sun the electricity the solar panel generates is a separate source of heat.

At best less than 18% of sunlight is turned into electricity.

I am happy I am educating you

That's 18% that doesn't heat the surface of the planet. Woot!!!

You've already conceded that the FLoT is why there's a localized cooling effect at solar farms. You'll have to say the magic words to proceed past go. Say it! Say it!

Until the electricity is used, 5 seconds later.

How much electricity does the world use every second?

Which is why visible light being converted into electricity can't also strike the surface of the planet and heat the surface of the planet.

Correct, that 18% is converted to electricity creating heat thst is not natural, helping produce the heat island. This heat is addition to the heat created by the panels baking in the sun.

Ding-a-ling, why did you not address your copy and paste that shows solar panels heat the atmosphere, the opposite of cooling

Satellite measurements say otherwise.

I'm not even sure you know what you are trying to say here.

Is unnatural heat a scientific term?

Yet the black surfaces of solar panels absorb more visible light then the surface of the earth thus creating more heat than the lighter colored earth.

Ding-a-ling this is simple knowledge most educated people know

A global study analyzing 116 solar farms says otherwise.

That study found a statistically significant cooling effect on land surface temperature (LST) during the daytime, with an average reduction of 0.49 Kelvin.

116 solar farms!!! Holy fucking shit!!! That's some evidence.

 

[petro]

Miles of solar fields taking over previously green farm fields west of me.
A complete dead zone forcing wildlife into further smaller areas.
A complete Abomination of the landscape.
Total eyesore.

And I can't think of a better way to usher in the next glacial period other than converting photons into electricity that would have otherwise heated the surface of the planet.

A lot. Most ends up as heat.

Now you know.

Exactly. It doesn't heat the planet by striking the surface.
It heats the planet in different ways.

 

[ding]

A lot.

Ball park it for me. Let's do some math.

Lowering the albedo of the planet is a sure way to cause an ice age.

First, do the math on how much of your household electricity usage results in heat.
