Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| MISLEADING | Claim via Social Media: Solar panels can heat up their surroundings and have unknown consequences on the surrounding environment.
Science Feedback rating: Misleading (Claims that solar panels dangerously increase heat ignore key context: their heat absorption is similar to materials like asphalt and concrete, and they often reduce warming overall by replacing fossil fuels. In some cases, they even provide cooling effects and support plant growth by offering shade.) Can solar panels warm their surroundings? Yes, but so can other materials |
