Solar panels typically have a lifespan ranging from 25 to 30 years, or even longer in some cases. This longevity doesn't imply that your rooftop panels will suddenly cease to generate electricity after a couple of decades. Rather, it suggests that their energy output will gradually diminish to a level deemed satisfactory by solar panel manufacturers for meeting the typical energy demands of a household. By providing diligent care and maintenance, you can anticipate enjoying substantial solar advantages for the subsequent 20 to 30 years.
