there's an energetic cost and pollution in the process of making a solar panel, to compensate it the pannel has to be able to produce more energy over their lifetime than it was used to produce it.
That being said, if the panel isn't effective enough, the amount of energy that will be produced will be lower than the amount of energy spend to make it, and therefore the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse effect gases that the solar panel will avoid of being released, will be lower that the ones that were being produced to make the panel.
