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.
And yes they do hold up - glass and aluminum are pretty tough with regards to sunshine. Wiring and connectors also tested and listed.
and don’t forget out hail ... i’ve gotten two “free” roofs paid for by my home insurance due to massive hail damage since i’ve lived in Colorado ...
