Energy Payback of Roof Mounted Photovoltaic Cells | Energy Bulletin The payback of mc-Si thin film collectors are in the 1-3 year range.

This helps fight the misinformation about solar panels. Politifact: solar panels make far more energy they require . This earned Florida Senate budget chief J.D. Alexander, R-Lake Wales a truth rating of "Pants on Fire" on Politifact's Truth-O-Meter.
I love the "Truth-O-Meter" it encourages us to check the statements and the facts to back them up. Hopefully Senetor Alexander learns from his mistake and only gets burned once.
Note: This is a discussion of the energy to make vs. time to produce the same amount of energy. Not the time to offset the cost of the panel in dollars vs time it takes to save that many dollars.
