Even with the old data in https://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/product-bureau/sites/default/files/2020-12/jrc12431preparatory_study_for_solar_photovoltaic_modules_kj-na-30468-en.pdf https://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/product-bureau/sites/defaul... This is getting better and better, with lower carbon footprint each new generation. With payback times as low as 4 months, this is misleadingly true.
