How Long Do Solar Panels Last?
One common question we often encounter is, “How long will my solar panels last?” In this blog, we’ll shed light on the lifespan of solar panels, helping you make informed decisions about your renewable energy investment.
Solar panels are durable and designed to withstand the test of time. On average, most solar panels usually last between 25-30 years with most still producing energy a long time after this.
Factors Affecting Lifespan: Several factors influence the lifespan of solar panels:
Quality of Materials: High-quality materials contribute significantly to the durability of solar panels. At A B Electrical & Commercial Services Ltd, we prioritise sourcing premium materials to ensure the longevity of your solar energy system.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance plays a crucial role in extending the lifespan of solar panels. Cleaning them periodically and ensuring they are free from debris will maximise their efficiency and overall performance.
Climate and Location: Solar panels are resilient, but the climate and location can impact their performance. Extreme weather conditions, such as hailstorms or harsh winters, may affect solar panels differently. Fortunately, modern solar panels are designed to withstand various weather challenges.
Technology Advances: Solar technology is continually evolving. While your solar panels may have a warranty for 20 years, technological advancements may offer even more efficient and durable options in the future.
