Isn't increasing the albedo cooling the planet down?

- jacquesm 6y agoYes, an increase in reflectivity would cool the planet down. But solar panels actually absorb a lot more than they reflect (they would have to). The ideal solar panel would be utterly black.
- StavrosK 6y agoAh, yes, that makes sense. The reflective cover they have made me think they reflected more than they absorbed (which, yes, doesn't make sense).
