    *minus the energy needed to make, maintain, and replace solar panels.

    I support more solar installations, just calling out it isn’t free power.

      As more solar is installed, the less power input we need to provide. There will be a point where all solar power required to make a solar panel will be produced by solar panels

        As more solar panels are installed, more material and maintenance are required. They deteriorate over time, and require large physical areas.

        I guess at that point, each panel needs to be extremely efficient to limit the space, extremely durable, made of cheap materials, easily recyclable into another panel.

        Right so

        No energy input on our part

        Is clearly false
