Electricity generated by solar panels or solar towers emits no carbon dioxide (or any other) emissions. This is why it is so much better than fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

The manufacture of anything, including solar hardware, has a carbon footprint, though this is usually balanced out after a few months of use.
