You do realize what we are, right?

Actually, the panels are the vampires sucking the energy out of the sun.We are sunlight vampires.
(That sounds so much cooler than "solar power enthusiasts")
We're more like Dr. Frankenstein.
But one must uplift themselves from time to time, if nobody else does. I now refer to myself as "Slavemaster of Runaway Photons"
Oh, here's a tip...if you are about to spew some nerd talk about your solar operation before the uninitiated, sprinkle in some humor. Keep it in low doses, too. A co-worker asked me how my "solar thing" was doing. (Yes, he was that bored) The reply that cracked up the crew was:
"I checked production at solar peak yesterday. Calculation revealed 93% efficiency from my array...it gave me a full fledged nerd-on."

Talk like that would put you on the Highway to Hell.
Well it does all end up as heat

Really turning low entropy photons into high entropy photons.

Harvesting free photons from clean fusion
Photonic parasites like plants converting solar energy into forms that we can harvest.
Photonic Veganism = PV
Turning Chaos into Cash, by not having to pay someone lese is a reverse entropy machine
While the Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease, it's possible for entropy to decrease locally. This local decrease in entropy always comes at the expense of a larger increase in entropy elsewhere, resulting in an overall increase in the total entropy of the universe.

I don't know what that college folk word "entropy" really means, but you get a bravo!

Sunlight kills vampires.
We just want to excite electrons. Their life is pretty boring otherwise...
You have vampires Down Under?

Yeah, I do like the sound of that T-shirt anyone??

Not if they stand under an array.

Unless it's bifacial
Even vampires need a little difused sunlight.
I also thought we are sort if arseholes if you think about our photon traps. A single photon gets fracked our in the core heat and pressure of our sun, but it cannot escape for millions of years. The sun's intense gravity and magnetic fields keep most corked inside. Then, in one millisecond, it sees it's break. After millions of years, it's freedom is only like 8 minutes. We enslave it, again.
Ratio that 8 minutes against millions of years

Photons do not experience time.

Of course they do, and like EVERYTHING else they want to kill you.

Photons have feelings too you know.
You laugh. But this is from 2015:
===============
A US town has rejected a proposal for a solar farm following public concerns.
Members of the public in Woodland, North Carolina, expressed their fear and mistrust at the proposal to allow Strata Solar Company to build a solar farm off Highway 258.
During the Woodland Town Council meeting, one local man, Bobby Mann, said solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not go to Woodland, the Roanoke-Chowan News Herald reported.
