But solar does produce an incremental cooling effect at the solar farm because photons - which would have otherwise produced heat - was converted into electricity instead.Incorrect. Waste heat generated from electricity use is independent of the generating source. So replacing fossil fuels with solar power doesn’t change the amount of waste heat from electricity usage.

My fridge produces an incremental cooling effect inside because heat - which would have otherwise warmed the inside - was moved outside instead.
