I've already disproved that to you once https://polishforums.com/life/poland-installing-solar-panel-68888/ , stop repeating that lie. Solar produces the energy taken to produce it within two years. Hence its returns at least 10x the energy in it life time.
Thats accurate. Wind turbines are very efficient producers of power. However, even solar is still cheaper than nuclear, without subsidies.

Yes, you are right I forgot to divide by 1000 for Kilo
However, the aluminum is infinity recyclable and recycled Al uses 6% (1.4kwhr/kg) the energy opposed to oxide. So your 100w panel returns the energy in 14 daysfor recycled Aluminum. The silicon (etc.) used can be tiny as its microns thick and sometimes sprayed on with an inkjet print

With a feed in tariff complete payback for installation and purchase can come within a few years
Thin film solar cells are 1micron thick, thick film 350 microns. Thats 0.1gram or 3.5grams per m2. So your 100w thick film panel uses say 2g of silicon which is 5KWHr max of energy?

If you buy something without a warranty thats your problem, all decent panels have a guarantee.
Over 20 years a 200watt solar panel will produce say 200*1000*365*20=1,460,000 Kwhr. That amount of energy ( cost of coal fired generated) costs $0.05/KwHr = $73,000. Of course, domestic electricity costs more like 20c per KWHr.
So you claim that a 200w panel uses the same amount of energy as it produces which would cost $73,000 yet the chinese and European manufactures can seel these for <$1 per watt which is $200??
You are Talking Bull.
Put it another way, the main energy cost of solar cells is glass (sand). How much energy and what is the cost of 20kg of glass??

Ignorant rubbish. Solar cells have a 25 year guaranteed life to 80% output. Thats a hell of lot of energy
Next year Poland will introduce a Feed In Tariff (FIT). This will pay you when you feed back excess electricity, the rate isn't determined yet but last time I checked its was 80% of last years average price per KWHr
pv-magazine.com/news/details/beitrag/poland--proposed-regulations-look-bad-for-pv_100012850
You can get an idea how much the cost will be with bulk panels costing around 0.8-1.0 USD per watt for instance. On top of this you will need a a Grid-tie inverter (or inverter and off-grid batteries or combination). Batteries are expensive and wasteful.
google.co.uk/search?q=solar+by+the+pallet
To qualify for a Feed in Tariff you will probably need a professional installation by a qualified provided. For this you will HAVE to get a quote from a Polish installer. In the UK, the prices are high, a rip-off to be sure.
The amount of electricity produced will depend on a lot of things, not least the location. This gives a ball park figure oksolar.com/abctech/solar-radiation.htm In Poland average per day over 365 days is 2-3hours.
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_sunshine_hours_map.png
Optimally placed (point south) and angled (30degrees?) means a 1kw solar installation would produce 1Kwhr * 2.5 hours * 365 days = 912.5KWHr per year. In Southern Poland the figure is more like 1200-1400 per year.
So if that installation cost 3K pln for cells, 2k pln for inverters and 3 k pln for installation= 8k PLN, you can calculate how much return you get by dividing the FIT payment of 912.5 KWHr by 8K PLN.
A 2.5KW or 4KW is more probable than 1KW.
And remember, that current solar panels will generate about the same energy during their life as used initially to produce it.

- As a result, in 2013 Poland has achieved levels of income, quality of life, and well-being never experienced before. This year, its GDP per capita will reach 62 percent of the level of income in the developed countries of Western Europe (Euro-area 17), Poland's natural benchmark and an objective of social aspirations, up from below 30 percent in 1992. It will also achieve the highest level of income relative to Western Europe since the year 1500, thus in just about twenty years offsetting more than 500 years of economic decline, a historically unprecedented achievement.

You can get it out of the safe in a few seconds.
Depends on who need to be protected from or where you are. Unless you are a gangster you will never need to defend yourself, even in the USA the number of domestic incidents requiring legitimate use of a fire arm is small, a few thousand a year. In Poland I doubt it more than a handful and I suspect few criminal will go near a house where the owner is armed with a shot gun or rifle. This may not be true in the USA, certainly in Argentina criminals are willing get into a prolonged gun battle, so a Glock, lots of ammo and body armour would be understandable.
If you really think you need a firearm there is also the cost of training and regular practice. If you intend to get into a gun battle you better know what you are doing.It isn't cheap, a couple of thousand dollars a year is one opinion.
But I suspect the real reason most men would like to carry is cock waving rights. Look at me I'm a hard man.

You have to join a hunting club. To get a license you read a book (paperback sized about 100 pages) and are tested in Polish on all aspects of hunting (seasons, how many kills you can make, husbandry etc) and gun safety. You have to pass a markmanship test every year at a range. Must be a Polish resident.
To hunt you need a gun (+ a safe at home), clothes (warm and of certain design to prevent it getting ripped to shreds in the woods). If you shoot anything you have to pay for it. Pheasant and Hare are about 25pln each I think. These are hunted in open ground with beaters (30pln each for a day) . I think you can kill around ten animals (boar/deer) per year in their respected seasons (boar maybe year round) in the woods
Its an expensive hobby (although you get a lot of meat), which means hunting clubs are in need of new members. My father-in-laws club has only one member under 40 (his son). Hunters come from other parts of the country and other countries to join in (we have a had a army colonel from Warsaw, a group from Slovakia, and other Polish clubs which included American-Poles). Nobody without a license is allowed to carry a weapon on a hunt.

The problem is that America and its people are nothing like Europe or Poland. Things you consider normal and reference as such don't apply here.
There no discussion or likely hood of legalizing weapons and the arguments from pro-gun Americans are irrelevant to the subject over here. In the Uk for instance the subject has never been mention and no political party of group is going to suggest loosing firearms laws. Literally I have never heard anyone suggest it in several decades of living in the UK. Unlike legalising sex with minors - thats even been mentioned by peodos and its about the same level of probability.
The guns are for hunting, although I only occasionally fire at targets as I don't have a hunting license, it is quite time consuming to get it.

To become a hunter you have to join a club (and attend the hunts I presume), go on training every year and pass exams (in Polish). You would be able to buy a hunting rifle, I doubt a handgun is an option as its useless for hunting. If you are interested in guns, not hunting I suspect the hunters in your club can refuse you.

obtain a modest pistol,
What are you going to rob a 'modest' bank? murder a 'modest' citizen?
Why on earth would you think you need a pistol in Poland? There is no chance you would ever need it.
