Solar panels are built to last. 

With consistent cleaning, proper maintenance, and favorable weather conditions, your solar panels should last for approximately 20 years.

But just like any other kind of technology, solar panels are prone to wear and tear and will eventually require replacement.

Now you might be wondering: what steps can I take and what should I look out for?

We’re glad you asked!

First, monitor your solar system’s performance and power output — a decrease in energy output usually means that your solar panels are wearing down. 

Second, watch out for discoloration or burn marks —  these suggest a corroded panel laminate, which will negatively affect your system’s efficiency.

Lastly, keep an eye out for cracks or fractures in the glass — these can be especially troublesome because they increase the risk of water damage to your solar cells.
