*minus the energy needed to make, maintain, and replace solar panels.

I support more solar installations, just calling out it isn't free power.

As more solar is installed, the less power input we need to provide. There will be a point where all solar power required to make a solar panel will be produced by solar panels

As more solar panels are installed, more material and maintenance are required. They deteriorate over time, and require large physical areas.

I guess at that point, each panel needs to be extremely efficient to limit the space, extremely durable, made of cheap materials, easily recyclable into another panel.
