“Solar panels have only been the thing for homes for the last 15 years or so. So how are we running into 25 to 30 year problems at this point?”
Because they don’t last that long, at least in the heat of much of California where their adhesives vaporize rather quickly.
But saying such would not play well to people deciding on whether to buy panels, so they keep the longer numbers in the article and hope people don’t notice.
Thanks for your explanation.
