Why though? Americans rarely do the opposite, and it was kinda obvious because if the optimal temp of solar panels were 25F, that translates to - 3.5°C, and that’s obviously wrong.
With the solar panel context, it’s obvious that we are talking in Celsius.
I get where you’re coming from with the assumptions you made. It’s obvious to you, but it might not be to everyone. As they say in programming, “explicit is always better than implicit”. Relying on the reader to infer what you mean instead of just telling them explicitly will always risk misinterpretation.
And laughing at people because they don’t understand things is the fastest way for this to become like Reddit, which I really hope doesn’t happen.
Wow that’s a lot colder than i expected, i always thought solar panels worked best around 70° or so
Celcius :P
Ah americans…
In your defense, the commenter should have specified that it was Celsius.

But I said the desert not the north pole.
Deserts are cold too. In fact Antarctica is a desert

I already knew this but thanks anyway. Yet, let us not play around with semantics . A desert usually refers to a hot place with a lot of sand.
A desert refers to climate. And the amount of rain it gets. It’s not semantics.
Even host deserts will freeze you out at night. It’s very common to go from 100 F to snowfall overnight in places like Reno Nevada.
Tl:dr - I’m not sure I believe you.
