You're Kidding... Right?

I mean if we absorb too many rays with our custom panels, there won't be enough bouncing around in our atmosphere, right?

Could Tapping Too Much Solar Energy Cause Global Cooling?

The energy is not lost. It gets converted to electrical energy then used to power electronic devices which then releases that energy back to the environment.

I can't even imagine that. The sun's rays aren't bouncing around in the atmosphere. Only a blackhole can trap light rays. If you've ever seen a picture of the earth taken from the moon you'll see a big bright blue earth, that's from the light rays bouncing off the earth.
It isn't any more possible that solar energy can cause global cooling than it is for carbon dioxide to cause global warming.

Even if all the energy used by humans was generated with solar panels the total is small relative to the total solar flux the Earth gets. The total human energy used and wasted is less than .01% of the solar income of Earth.
