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)?

Also large numbers of solar panels like that have other effects, changes in wind patterns and such.
I mean I noticed just in small effects the parking lots that have them installed over the parking spaces seem less urban hellscapey to me, by like 5 to 10 degrees hamburger
We already have buildings all over the place. I like the idea of installing them there. Parking lots would be awesome too since it’s otherwise wasted space, but this way cars and people are protected from the sun and rain. Win/win.
