The facts are quite simple. Solar panels work by absorbing heat from
sunlight. As they have a small mass they warm up more quickly than
the surroundings. This heat can then be transferred elsewhere. The
external temperature has nothing to do with this process, which is
why they can be used in the antarctic.
Completely wrong, but one expects nothing else.

Another assertion. Strongly expressed, but not backed up by anything
convincing.

Google 'black body radiation' for the facts.

I did black body radiation a long time ago.

At least its based on reason, not pseudo scientific blather.

Yawn. Do keep it up though as it is probably revealing.

You may have the last word at the moment.
