Reducing the Sahara''s albedo is CATASTROPHIC. As you build more solar farms in the sahara, you darken it causing the surface to be warmer and eventually triggering more rainfall. even just 20% of Sahara being a solar farm will increase global temps by a fraction of 1°. That rainfall creates vegetation that further reduce Sahara''s reflectivity.
