And solar supply chain is heavy on fossil fuel right now, so you may have the same burning of coal behind the scene to make that solar energy. I've read reports where it was actually worse than directly burning the coal. Those reports are incorrect. The energy payback time for a PV installation including structures, cabling etc is typically 2 years.
