How Long Do Solar Panels Last?
Solar panels are a great way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your impact on the environment. But how long do solar panels last?
The short answer is that solar panels can last for 25-30 years or more. In fact, some solar panels have been known to produce electricity for over 40 years!
The long answer is that there are a number of factors that can affect the lifespan of your solar panels. These include the quality of the panels and the climate you live in.
Quality of Solar Panels
The quality of the solar panels you choose is one of the most important factors in how long they will last. Look for panels from a reputable manufacturer that offers a long warranty.
Climate
The climate you live in can also affect the lifespan of your solar panels. Solar panels in sunny climates will produce more electricity and last longer than panels in cloudy climates. As I'm sure you know, Durango is a very sunny location with a large number of sunny days per year.
Degradation
Solar panels will eventually degrade and produce less electricity. However, this process is very slow and your panels will still produce a significant amount of electricity for many years.
Conclusion
Solar panels are a long-term investment that can save you money and reduce your environmental impact. With proper care, your solar panels can last for 25-30 years or more.
