I wonder how much sunlight we can convert into stored energy until we are non-trivially detracting from the amount of energy that reaches the earth’s surface.

It’s probably an absurd proportion of solar panel coverage.

Surface area of the earth: 510,064,472 km²

So at any moment ~255..000.000 km² of the earth is hit with solar radiation. I think we have a while before it becomes an issue.
