    It’s not efficient, a huge amount of it gets diffused or absorbed

    The amount that’s left over though is more than enough, especially with today panels which only convert a very small percentage of that remaining energy.

    As the panels improve even more they’ll be a very large energy surplus, even with how much solar light actually gets through the atmosphere.
