Total energy consumption of the world: 474 exajoules.
Total solar energy absorbed by earth: 3,850,000 exajoules
But your argument is even more rudimentally answered as such: energy captured by solar panels is still in the Earth's atmosphere. It'll appear later as heat anyways, once its energy is used practically. If you want to counter global warming with solar panels directly, they would have to be situated above the atmosphere, and NOT transmit any energy down to the surface.
