Getting solar & a big battery in a couple weeks, the panels come with a 30 year warrenty and guarantee they will still produce at least 87% by then.
yeah people love to imagine that "20 year lifespan" means the panel fucking vanish into the ether on the day of, just like with "best by" dates on food..
Can we get solar panel manufacturers to use the same wording as food companies do these days? "Best before, often good after: 2045-01-23. Look, smell, taste before throwing away."
