The original solar panels built during world war 2 are STILL WORKING, so, the "life" of solar panels is still unknown - except that they exceed 60 years.
I am sure the most wealthy and powerful people in the world (the owners of giant oil production - who still have not paid once cent in compensation to the generational fishing industry families that were wiped out - or for anything else from the Exxon Valdez incident - having the most highly educated and sophisticated lawyers on the planet) would like everyone to believe renewable power sources are all poppycock.
