Solar 101: Durability of Solar Panels
What have you heard about the durability of solar panels? There is a lot of information floating around about this topic and solar panels are actually more durable than most people would guess. They are built to last and are composed of glass, metal, and silicon with no moving parts. This is why they have a 25 year warranty and last well beyond that.
Solar panels are also put through vigorous testing to make sure that they can stand up to the demands of Mother Nature and the everyday activities that take place around your home and yard. They are tested against pouring rain, hail, sleet, snow, baseballs, and an enormous amount of weight. The panels come out of these strenuous tests unscathed and still producing power. It’s amazing what solar panels can hold up against!
