What is the Expected Lifetime of Rooftop Solar Power Plants?

While panels last 25 years or more, some other parts of the solar PV power plants have life times of much less than 25 years. Mounting structures are also expected to last 25 years. Inverters, which act as the brains of a solar system have lifetimes of around ten years since they are complex mechanical devices.

How Long Do Rooftop Solar Panels Really Last?

High quality solar panels can be expected to last for 25 years or more, but other PV system components have shorter service lives. Solar inverters have a typical service life of 10 years. This means your solar panels will still have 15 years of guaranteed power output when your first inverter reaches the end of its service life.
