EROEI of 100 is not 10x better than an EROEI of 10, though. There is diminishing returns on EROEI. Relevant figure could be "net energy delivered" (or some such) that goes from .9 to .99, a 10% improvement.
Also, I believe the EROEI of 10 for solar is for PV operated in Europe. But there's no reason to put the solar-powered PV factories in relatively bad locations like Europe.
