The solar system I made to power my well will easily run the freezers and refrigerators forever as well as lights, and we have acreage and grow our own vegetables and have chickens too.

Solar panels have a finite lifespan.

Well any mass event that leaves you dependent on solar panels greater than a year or so probably won’t mean they would wear out before then. 5 years in? Then one would expect the performances to drop. Batteries are more the issue.
