@kevin I mean if you would possibly consider replacing your panels for these vastly more efficient ones (understandable!) than that theoretical lifetime doesn't really matter, does it?

@ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social In many locations, used panels, which are still incredibly useful are sold as used and used for decades more. That regularly occurs here in Japan, for example, so I think the real world lifetime is actually extremely relevant.

@kevin Hope they sort out the recycling for all the panels on people's roofs currently... Far as I know that's still not a solved problem.

@ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social Life span of solar rooftops is still undetermined and could be as long as a hundred years or more. Recycling or not, solar energy is still far better for the environment than status quo.
Unbelievable… in the next decade or so we will get solar panels on our rooftops with more than 33% conversion rates. That is more than double what the normal cells got when I built my house in 2012, and I haven’t paid for electricity in 11 years at that house.
