Robert, Barb_FL did an experiment with both clear and black plastic for solarizing, The black got the inside contents to 109F, the clear got the temp up to 132F. Much better with the clear. The black absorbed the light, the clear let it pass through. Classic greenhouse effect. I never use black plastic anymore. Also no white, that would just reflect the light.
