Albedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The albedo of an object is the extent to which it diffusely reflects light from light sources such as the Sun. It is therefore a more specific form of the term reflectivity. Albedo is defined as the...

So in terms of their direct climate effect, they have an albedo, or reflectivity, of 1/6. This is comparable to the albedo of standard asphalt shingles, ... So the albedo effect is not negligible. It does need to be taken into account when calculating the payback period of solar energy. But it is hardly a deal-breaker.

Climate change - ice and snow and the albedo effect. Changes in the polar regions can cause more warming in the entire planet earth system through feedback effects. One such effect is the reduction of ice and snow due to warmer temperatures.
