Not exactly because the Earth naturally reflects a large amount of solar energy back into space.

A lot of that is from clouds that are above the panels

That's more of the solution than the problem. Most of the light is absorbed rather than reflected, but causing more to be reflected isn't that hard, e.g. cover a large surface area of low value land or ocean with cheap reflective material.
