Does the process of manufacturing a photovoltaic module use up very high levels of energy?

Photovoltaic electricity does not produce CO2 emissions, but the process of manufacturing the photovoltaic modules does use up electricity. However, within 2 to 3 years, the photovoltaic module will have produced more energy that was required to manufacture it initially.
