I was having this conversation recently. Someone said solar is a con job because they remain carbon positive for a decade or more.
Turns out, that person wasn't well informed.

One of the Koch-Saudi talking points that are suckled on Fox is that solar photovoltaic systems are not that green, because of the carbon footprint used in melting the silicon and manufacturing the rooftop systems. Here is some refutation. It seems your rooftop solar installation earns back its carbon footprint from manufacturing in one year. Just one year.
Be proud to have drunk that koolaid. There's lots more where it came from.
