I have a sincere questions about the ability of solar panels to remain in the sunlight and remain operational for a specified length of time. Any studies? I will research this. However, the sun has power destructive to manmade equipment.

I am skeptical, because there is an industry behind the green movement with political power.

Most reputable solar panel companies will offer a degradation warranty of 1%/year output loss, so I would always size the panel around 20% over the inverter output.

And yes they do hold up - glass and aluminum are pretty tough with regards to sunshine. Wiring and connectors also tested and listed.
