they absorb and retain heat. This characteristic can result in higher indoor temperatures, especially during the summer months, leading to increased energy costs for cooling. It should be banned or discouraged.
Solar panels are a dark colour and convert the suns light into electricity, which is the sent through a cable, that warms up with the current running through it is then used to run electric appliances, motors lights data centers, all of which create heat. Makes me wonder if it is in fact warming we are supposed to be reducing, then why are we covering vast green areas, (environmental vandalism), that would have a cooling effect, with solar panels that indirectly produce heat.
Agree. Should be combined with energy efficiency requirements being introduced nationally for all housing stock.
White or light colour increases albedo and reflection of solar heat to space
