I’m not sure what’s my roof is made of, could be clay or concrete or decra. But you know this material absorb heat and subsequently travel all the way down into the house, that makes a house hot. Nevertheless, thought of going green, if i replace my roof with solar panel/cell, does it also make my home less hot since it does not absorb heat as much as conventional roof (solar cells are suppose to absorb light, right?)

Solar panes usually do not repalce a roof.
They do shade it, and thus reduce the heat from the sun.
From a purely theoretical standpoint, the solar energy that your panels convert to electricity can’t make your house hotter.
From a practical standpoint, the solar panels will shade the roof somewhat, especially if they are mounted on some kind of support a couple of inches above the roof plane.
Hard to say how much of an effect this would have.
