Agreed with these fine folks... slowly acclimate it, a few hours a day, until it can take the full sunlight. Never done it with a banana, but am currently in the process with some pumpkin seedlings - they have each lost a single leaf to sun and/or wind burn, but are starting to really grow now that they're getting real sunlight! They go on the balcony in the morning, where they get a few hours of shade, a couple hours of full sun, then shade again for the rest of the afternoon.

They probably wouldn't have lost leaves, but I hadn't figured out the best place to put them yet, and they got too much sun, too soon.
