If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

    I live in a country with a propensity for dark cement tiles, i really doubt panels are causing an uptick in heat

    Of course they are why wouldn’t they?

    Any change in albedo modifies how much radiation is absorbed and emitted and the wavelengths it’s emitted at.

    Sure one tile doesn’t do much but it does do something by a measurable degree. Even if tiny, it’s still quantifiable.

      So you’re telling me if I have a house that’s entirely covered in dark cement tiles but put solar panels up my microclimate temperature would rise?
