If photovoltaics (PV) are to contribute significantly to stabilizing the climate, they will need to be deployed on the scale of multiple terawatts. Installation of that much PV would cover substantial portions of the Earthʼs surface with dark-colored, sunlight-absorbing panels, reducing the Earth''s albedo. How much radiative forcing would result from this change in land …
