The idea behind the hot carrier cell is to utilize some of that incoming energy which is converted to heat.

However, the amount that directly escapes to space is only about 12 percent of incoming solar energy.

When the universes begin to rub you could trap the incoming energy in an artificial universe.

This energy cannot be captured by the cell, and represents about 7% of the available incoming energy.

Places where the amounts of incoming and outgoing energy were in balance are yellow.

The Earth's surface temperature depends on this balance between incoming and outgoing energy.

Something has to spend energy to put it back, and the only way we can do that without making things worse is to use incoming energy.

In country areas, a large part of the incoming solar energy is used to evaporate water from vegetation and soil.

Since there's no incoming energy from the sun, the land and the ocean can only cool down.

Earth still receives the same amount of incoming solar energy, it just starts and ends earlier.
