Allegedly it only takes around 40kwh to make a 200 to 250w panel which is only about 1 gallon of diesel fuel worth of energy.
Even if there was something lost in translation and just the solar cells by them selves took 40kwh to make that's still really good.
I hear that "solar panels will never make more energy than it took to make them" well a 220w panel should make at least 7 megawatt hours over a 20 year life.
