I don't know whether this has been answered by a rewrite but you are correct. The hydrino cannot accept or emit a photon when in a stable fractional orbit. In the transition between these, however, it is unstable and may radiate photons. In effect, the loss of the 27.2 eV drops it from a stable orbit to an unstable state. It must then shed the extra energy as photons until it reaches a stable orbital lower down.

Only the 27.2 eV is lost to the catalyst directly. The rest is emitted as extreme ultraviolet radiation. It is possible for the catalyst to accept these but this is a separate interaction. In the SunCell the silver catalyst intercepts much of this and reradiates it in the visible and near ultravilet.
