The transformation and accumulation of solar energy in a biological form has direct relationships with food, biomass energy and climate change problems, which can be addressed as the processes of the exchange of energies in the plant. The analysis of these processes helps understand the factors affecting the process of the plant's energy exchange. Biomass can only release the amount of energy equal to the radiant energy assimilated by it from the Sun in the process of biomass production. Solar energy accumulation in biomass is highly inefficient as a mere 2 % of the provided energy is used. The remaining share of energy is emitted to the environment. The regulation system of plant leaf temperature may be one of theoretical presumptions for the efficient cooling of microchips.
