What is the lifespan of my solar panels?
Solar panels are built to last. Many of the first solar panels created in the 1950s are still functioning and generating energy. After 20 years of operation and past the expiry of your microFIT contract, your solar panels should still be running at about 80% of their original efficiency. Proper care, such as making sure that the panels arent covered in dirt or leaves, will ensure a long lifespan for your solar power system.
