If everyone had solar panels and thought like you, we’d still have globe warming
Energy is heat. There’s no such thing as cold, just lack of heat.
Trapping sun rays then releasing hot air warms the planet. That’s what your system is doing. Removing heat from your house and putting it outside while your electric motor throws out extra heat.
It just doesn’t have the air pollution that burning coal or gas does.
I am, in fact, quite aware of how air conditioners work :D A lot of devices work like this; it’s why a refrigerator and freezer generate heat. And why things like a slushy machine are real power hogs. Basically, anything that gets things cool will generate heat elsewhere.
Thing is, a refrigerator and freezer are very much needed in daily life. An air conditioner thankfully isn’t - yet. But on days where we have 25+ celsius, the aircon is the difference between being sweaty, irritable, unproductive and with poor sleep or… perfectly comfortable. So, we choose to not be miserable. It keeps me sane during heatwaves.
But yes, absolutely nobody should own one. And I highly encourage everybody else not to get one. I’m keeping mine though.
In total approximately 70% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface while around 30% is reflected back to space and does not heat the surface. The Earth radiates energy at wavelengths much longer than the Sun because it is colder

That light was already going to turn into heat. That’s where basically everything but nuclear power came from.
Unless you have actual, credible researched math on the climate impact we’re all going to ignore you.

No, the energy captured by solar panels wasn’t already going to turn into heat to be released and trapped by earth’s atmosphere.
