Essentially solar panels produce 77 56 less c02 per kwh of electricity.
How much co2 to make a solar panel.
10 000kwh x 0 846 8 460 lbs of co2 8 460 lbs of co2 is equivalent to the carbon emissions of 432 gallons of gas which would be like taking your car off the road for almost an entire year.
Taking into account the two years to pay off the embedded energy in the panel after 25 years a 6 6kw system will have a net saving of around 243 tonnes of co2.
This includes everything from acquiring raw materials to production to transport and installation.
A 6 6kw solar system will produce around 10 600 kwh a year which will save around 10 6 tonnes of co2 emissions per year.
According to the study a solar panel in sweden generates 50g of co2 per kwh so that is a total of 274 kg of co2 or 600 lbs of co2.
