Possibly. You're taking energy out of wind. Wind transfers energy through the air. Get rid of that, or weaken its effect, and it can have consequences for the climate both locally and possibly globally. Similarly with solar panels. Normally sunlight that hits the ground is partially reflected and partially absorbed as heat. Photovoltaics convert photons directly into electricity. The electricity is then transferred elsewhere to be used. That has several ramifications: - Instead of being reflected out into space, the sunlight is captured as electricity. Effectively this is a change to the albedo. Electricity is then used to power the grid, meaning almost 100% of it gets dissipated as heat. Yes, you are reading that right: Solar panels cause global warming. - Heat is moved from one location to another. Instead of being generated where sunlight hits the ground, it is now moved in the form of electricity and dissipated elsewhere.
Now, we have to be careful about jumping to conclusions. While these effects are undeniable, there is a question of whether they are significant.
