The energy required to create solar panels is considerable. It does however not supersede the energy output over the panel lifetimes anymore [0]; depending on location, angle and type e.t.c. the energy needed for production and operation may be as low as 5% or as high as 50% of the lifetime output, with approximately 25% currently being the norm. This ratio is constantly improving with more efficient solar panels and more efficient manufacturing methods.
