Hi everyone,

I'm a new supporter of green energy but I find myself without enough facts to back up my beliefs. Can someone please tell me if we have reached the point yet where a solar cell will produce more energy during its life than the total required by the factory that made it? Can anyone tell me by how much, and how well does it compare to other power sources when viewed in those terms?

Regards,

Stuart Keynes
