Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and real-world performance can last for decades

Same goes for EV batteries. It’s just fear mongering.

Those do degrade. New chemistries will hopefully lead to longer lasting though. Also different tech, solar doesn’t have the same chemical reaction that can degrade. Not sure how solar degrades, it might be more from the manufacturing process.

I have been a licenced tech for 30 years. Have worked on EV since 2013, and have never seen a degraded battery.
