I usually don't reply to ACs, but I must respond to the stupid.
Building solar panels takes resources. Marshaling resources takes energy. You may not get more energy out of the panels than you put in to build them, install them, and maintain them. They also degrade over time.
Bottom line is no form of energy generation comes for free. It should be used as efficiently as possible and not wasted.
