I guess you have a degree in basic thermodynamics, then? Pretty simple and basic thermodynamics. An engine cannot produce any work if its temperature is hotter than its sink. For your edification - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_cycleSo sad to see respected sites like TechSpot and Extreme Tech repeating this garbage science. Solar panels don't produce electricity because "they're colder than the sun".
It amazes me how many come to TS that pretend to know something they don't.
It's pretty obvious that solar panels would not work if they were hotter than the sun.
