The energy from the sun (that they refer to as heat in the meme) is being converted to electricity (cold in the meme) before assumedly being converted to heat when it's used
why would electricity be cold tho? my battery gets hot af when i take energy out or put it in. it's like pure energy, seems spicy
Hot batteries are from wasted energy lost during charge/discharge cycles. Only a very small amount of energy is lost this way. When a battery is full, and sitting idle, it's cold. Electrical wires are generally cold, they only get hot when huge amounts of energy pass through them and even then the heat is from an incredibly small amount of waste.
This can als me condensed down into - If energy exists in a usable manner inside something, it's generally not as heat.
Because it’s organized energy instead of the disorganized energy that is heat.
That which does not become heat stays cold.
