Solar modules have no moving parts to fail or maintain. Their median and p90 lifetimes easily surpass the same measures for mechanically complex wind turbines.

Solar modules have no moving parts to fail or maintain. Their median and p90 lifetimes easily surpass the same measures for mechanically complex wind turbines. And if you are more interested in future possibilities than the current state of things, I believe that judicious materials selection and design to minimize thermal-electrical fatigue can produce modules with median working lifetimes in excess of 50 years.
