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)?

Technically, if you built enough solar panels in space, they would completely block the sun and massively decrease global temperature
Yeah, on the earth surface 23% of the light gets absorbed by the atmosphere before it even hits the panel, and 85% of the remained doesn’t get absorbed by the panel at all.
perovskites offer tantalizing appearances of being able to take up more, and appear to be coming soon. few bits of good news but that’s one.
Most of the sunlight doesnt even hit Earth
Could you imagine how much more energy we could produce if we used all the empty space in space?
Now that right there is an idea within an idea, like a matryoshka brain.
