The Science article they reference that has far more information than this blog piece. https://www.science.org/content/article/massive-solar-farms-...

God this was a terrible article. You have to get to the third-to-last paragraph to understand what is happening. I skimmed the article scrolling and saying to myself "are tha panels lowering the ambient temperature?" And yes that sounds like what's happening even though I'm still not sure after getting to the end of the article.
