  • Solar panels have a way longer lifespan than what’s usually said (20 years is what people calculate with. But at that point they’re not broken or anything). They lose a bit of efficiency but that doesn’t really matter for already installed systems… So what this means is that this power source is here now and it will basically stay forever. Replace the odd panel here and there, but the power curve that we have massive amounts of power during mid day, pretty much regardless of where you live is here to stay. It’s a miracle really. I suspect the effects of it on the economies and society haven’t even begun to show.
