but solar panels are black, does that mean it’ll just make the earth hotter overall?
Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps?

Start reflecting sunlight back into space and increase the earth’s albedo

They appear black because they do not rreflect light but rather than absorb photons as heat they absorb them as electricity. This conversion means they do not get hot like a painted black surface does. In fact, solar panels are heat sensitive and become inefficient if too hot, so some have cooling on the back side or even water cooling.
