Solar panels typically do not need to be replaced after 25-30 years, but their efficiency will gradually decrease. Replacement depends on your energy needs and financial goals, impacting long-term energy production.
Modern solar panels typically degrade at an average rate of 0.3% to 0.8% per year, influencing sustained energy production.
Yes, extreme weather conditions like hail, strong winds, and heavy snow can cause physical damage and accelerate degradation, affecting energy production.
Yes, solar panels produce slightly less energy each year due to natural degradation, impacting overall energy production.
Regular cleaning can help maintain solar panel efficiency by removing dirt and debris, but it does not significantly affect their overall lifespan or energy production capabilities.
