Solar panels you buy today just go down in efficiency - if you are installing them on say a house, they will continue producing good power output for the lifetime of the house (bar physical damage). Typically they will come with a waranty that after 25 years, they produce at least 80% of their rated output.
(You will probably need to replace the inverter during that time, but the panels will be fine)

- ZeroGravitas 6y agoThe progress of PV technology over 3 decades means it's probably cheaper to recycle them for raw material and build out new PV.
