That's laughable. I'm surprised that's not from the Onion. It takes close to 100,000 years for a photon that was created in the center of the Sun to reach the top of the Sun and then takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth. Those Photon's aren't directed at Earth but are going all over the place. What hits earth is a pittance of what the Sun produces and what hits Solar panels is less than a pittance. It has about as much effect as me pissing in the ocean.
