Energy pay-back time (EPBT) results for fixed-tilt ground mounted installations range from 0.5 years for CdTe PV at high-irradiation (2300 kWh/(m^2·yr)) to 2.8 years for sc-Si PV at low-irradiation (1000 kWh/(m^2·yr)), with corresponding quality-adjusted energy return on investment (EROIPE-eq) values ranging from over 60 to ~10.
If you want to see other publications on the same topic, try hitting Google Scholar with search terms "photovoltaic" "life cycle" "energy payback". For the most accurate results, restrict your search to recent years. Manufacturing processes are revised rapidly and studies from the turn of the millennium are now badly obsolete. (Though even in 1990 PV systems were net energy positive on average; the worry that PV system manufacturing consumes more energy than the lifetime output appears to be a holdover from the very early (1970s) days of terrestrial PV systems.)
