No, this is the average across all land mass. You get where the majority of land mass is right? (Hint: not Northern Europe)

No it's not.

But maybe you're forgetting that days aren't 12 hours of noon.

Maybe the “average at noon, including sunny and cloudy days, across landmass is 60%”, but that's very much not the same thing as “the average on a cloudy day is 60%”…

Average across all days across all land mass. It’s never a cloudy day across all land mass… so it averages out. I’m confused you aren’t following here

> It’s never a cloudy day across all land mass…

But then again, how does that relate to your previous points:

> you know solar still works even through clouds right?

> So you could say 60% efficiency on a typical overcast day.

We were talking about the impact of clouds on a particular spot, and now you're telling me that you're counting the average across landmass because it's never cloudy everywhere in the world…

I suppose it means you retract your previous statements about solar panels working well even in the presence of clouds?

Trolololol

Well, here we are.
