Wouldn't absorbing 0.06% of the incoming solar energy have a significant impact on the planet's ecosystems, either by the absorbed energy by the massive product

Wouldn't absorbing 0.06% of the incoming solar energy have a significant impact on the planet's ecosystems, either by the absorbed energy by the massive production of PV and storage required for that end ?
I think that your statement does not rebutt the parent comment : producing the energy required to sustain our modern lifestyle and population count will have significant impacts on the ecosystems, whatever the source we use for that energy.
