Is there any explanation for this? I haven’t seen the movies. Surely a solar panel is more efficient than dumping energy into a human to harvest the heat?

Originally they used humans for computing power but they changed it because they were worried that the average viewer wouldn't understand this.

As I've heard it, they were originally farming humans and plugging them in to link their minds together to boost their own machine intelligence and power. Boomer suits didn't understand it and forced the writers to change it mid-development.

Dude, the sky was full of clouds.
