Question by Pascha: How long do solar panels last, compared to the roof they are attached to?
Best answer:
Answer by Parsec KnightIve been using the same solar panels for 15 years, have move a few times so they last a lot longer than the roofs weve had over us. I am teaching my kids how to build wind generators, because we keep having power failiures when the wind blows. and recently its got very windy. I charge banks of battery’s and keep my office running from dc-ac converters.
