"Fingerprint" of Greenland ice melt seen in satellite sea level data

I can’t think of a better way to usher in the next glacial cycle other than the widespread use of solar.

Because "Any solar radiation that is converted into electricity is solar radiation that will not heat the surface of the planet. It's a material balance"?

The incremental cooling effect measured at six solar farms was the greatest during daylight hours when photons were being converted into electricity.

So you moved a little heat.
Like my fridge.

Photons are energy. Heat is energy. But photons are not heat. Photons produce heat by striking atoms and causing atoms to excite and move. It is the movement of the atoms that the photons struck that produces the heat.

well actually it is when the energy is added to the grid and a load is available to draw current that heat occurs in the lines running from the panels to the grid and over the grid.

Waste heat generated from electricity use is independent of the generating source. So replacing fossil fuels with solar power doesn’t change the amount of waste heat from electricity usage. But solar does produce an incremental cooling effect at the solar farm because photons - which would have otherwise produced heat - was converted into electricity instead.

where is energy being replaced? you have failed every post, don't stop now.

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.

Offset?

Avoidance yet again. Lack of honesty becomes you

Why do you want the planet to be colder in the middle of an ice age?

And more heat at point of use.

More infrared heat emitted at the city after the electricity is used.

Right, the heat is produced a few seconds later, in the city.
No net cooling of the planet.
