How long will a system last? Are there any warrantees?
A. Typically, a system lasts at least 25 years on average, and can operate decades longer. Some solar panels used on satellites have lasted 40 or more years. Manufacturers’ warrantees are typically 20 to 25 years on the solar panel modules and 10 to 15 years on the inverters. In addition, Built Well Solar provides free annual inspections over a 10-year installation warranty period, with extended warrantees available.
