Without getting involved with any balance sheets, my guess would be that
yes they do generate more greenhouse gases in their manufacture,
installation and maintenance than they could possibly save.


It seems the science has been done for you:

and they at least find solar use results in massive cuts to toxic waste
and air pollution.
