Why not just read the article and find out?
“The results showed a device that would perform above 80 percent of its peak efficiency under continuous illumination for at least five years at an average temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Using standard conversion metrics, Loo said that’s the lab equivalent of 30 years of outdoor operation in an area like Princeton, NJ.”
Sounds pretty near your benchmark!
- Ygg2 4y ago35C outdoors doesn't sound like much. Illuminated areas can trivially reach +10-15C of the temperature in the shade. Edit: Article goes in more details, but they did fast age it in 100C, so it should be durable. That said, I'm still doubtful it would perform as well in real world, especially since global warming would raise air temperature. Did the 30 year models account for rise in temperature?

- hulitu 4y agoConstant temperature testing ? Good luck. Where i live the difference in temperature between night and day can reach 20 C. A lot of things perform well at constant temperature.
