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)?

but not all of it is converted back to heat. The energy used to do actual work is used for that. Some of it comes back out as heat
That just pushes the heat production down the chain: Take a light: it converts electricity into electromagnetic waves. Those waves the get converted into heat when they hit things.
The work also becomes heat in the end.
