If all of mankind’s energy was supplied through solar panels would the effect be big enough to decrease the temperature (since light is converted in part to electricity)?

    when that electricity (photons absorbed by solar cells dumped into the grid) they’ll almost certainly be used in an application that generates heat, as well - data centers, phones, refrigerators, cars, they all generate heat as a byproduct of using that power.

    I don’t think this is in any way a problem.
