What is the lifespan of a solar panel?

 

Solar panels typically last for 30 – 35 years. In general, solar panel manufacturers guarantee that solar panels will still produce at least 80% of their original power after 25 years. When their service life is up, they must be disposed of as electronic waste via your local council’s cleansing service. The solar industry is working on a complete recycling system.
