Early 90s Solar Panels Remain 80% Efficient After 30 Years, Boosting Energy Outlook

A study shows that solar panels installed in Switzerland between 1987 and 1993 still produce over 80% of their original power after 30 years, demonstrating exceptional durability and longevity, especially in alpine environments. This challenges assumptions about the lifespan of solar technology and highlights the importance of robust materials for sustainable energy future, emphasizing that durability can be as crucial as cost and efficiency.
