By the way, thermal
solar power, such as is
used in
solar hot water, is about 60 to 65 %

of global warming gasses, than PVs.
For example, the global average effect
of any change in albedo from
using solar power would be rather small in comparison to mitigation
of climate change if that
solar power is
used (to displace fossil fuels) for a sufficient time period (example: if a 10 %
efficient PV panel with zero albedo (reflectivity for
solar (SW) radiation) covered ground with an albedo
of 25 — 30 %, the ratio
of total increased heating to electricity generation would be similar to that
of many fuel - combusting or fission -
powered power plants (setting aside inverter and grid efficiency, etc., but still it would be similar).
That's unfortunate, according to scientists at the Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University in India, because
using the sun's
power to heat water is a far more
efficient process and offers a much quicker return on investment: According to their analysis, published in the International Journal
of Global Energy, as the payback time for a
solar water heating system is about two years (with a lifespan
of 20), this is a far more cost - effective
use of solar energy in the developing world than
using it to generate electricity.
