How Much Energy to Make a Solar Panel? (True Figures)

solvoltaics.com

My comments:

Lots of variables.

First Solar's PV's take less than half the energy to manufacture vs monosilicon.

Energy payback can be as low as four months.

I own some monosilicon panels that are almost forty years old and they still are producing about 85% of original nameplate capacity.
