Anyone have an infrared camera or thermal imaging device? If you take infrared photos or thermal images of solar paneling when the sun is shining you might be surprised to see it registers as one of the hottest things in the photo or thermal image. Believe it or not, this is actual science! Look at the images the sky is cool..Not hot the solar paneling is hot. What exactly is the greenhouse effect? With an actual greenhouse with glass walls and ceilings exposed to the sun, the visible light penetrates the greenhouse and is converted to infrared when re-radiated from the inside surfaces of the glass and the whole interior of the space and that infrared wavelength does not pass through the glass until it becomes atomic vibrational energy that ultimately radiates infrared . That makes the greenhouse hot. Without the glass walls and ceiling/roof, the light could just be reflected back into space from which it came. Solar panels retain sunlight but not all of it and they tend to b
