Yes, solar panels can be used to reflect light. However, they are not very efficient at reflecting light and the amount of light reflected back into the atmosphere is small. Factors affecting reflection include the angle of the sun, the type and color of the solar panel, the amount of sunlight hitting the surface. . Reflective solar panels are not a separate type of solar technology, but rather standard photovoltaic (PV) panels that have reflective properties due to their glass covering. This means that they will not cause significant glare or heat build-up in your home.
