Greetings! I’ve read various claims about how long solar panels last, but I'd love to hear from actual users. How long have your panels been running, and have you noticed any decrease in efficiency?

Ah, the million-dollar question! So, here's the scoop on solar panel lifespan: think of them like the Energizer Bunny – they keep going and going! 🐰💪 On average, you're looking at around 25 to 30 years of solid sunshine power ☀️. But hey, that's not set in stone – with proper care and maintenance, some panels have been known to last even longer! Just like any relationship, a little TLC goes a long way. So sit back, soak up that solar goodness, and enjoy the savings for decades to come!

My 7-year-old solar panels are still going strong with no noticeable efficiency drop yet. They say they last 25+ years, some even exceeding 30! Apparently, gradual degradation happens but proper maintenance (keeping them clean) helps. So far, happy with my eco-friendly investment! Anyone else have long-term experiences with solar panels?

The real lifespan of a solar panel system typically ranges from 25 to 30 years or more, with most manufacturers offering warranties for this duration; however, solar panels can continue to generate electricity beyond their warranty period, albeit at a reduced efficiency rate. Regular maintenance and proper care can help prolong the lifespan of a solar panel system. 🕰️🌞
