New House Thermal
Then why is my solar panel so hot?
And why is the conversion efficiency only 10-12 percent?
That seems fundamental to me.
- it's all been explained over and over above in this thread. Steady-state temperature does not equal heat energy transfer. Nevertheless, a solar "farm" may be similar in effect to a parking lot, which is more likely to generate thermals than ground covered with green plants that evaporate water.
