Solar Degradation Rate
Do solar panels degrade over time? The quick answer: Yes, but not that much.
If you’re a beginner who’s about to start a life with solar, you should know that it’s a lifetime investment and that entails the idea that you must be aware of all the things you need to know about it – and it’s more than just pricing!
There are low-cost options for solar out there that might seem attractive at first glance but will this investment still be worth it in the decades to come?
Over time, your solar panels will lose a little bit of their maximum ability to absorb sunlight and convert it into solar energy. Have you ever heard the term degradation rate? Well, it’s an essential part of a solar panel system. It’s basically the reduction power of a panel over time.
Current panels on the market today have an average degradation rate of 0.5% each year. In solar technology, losing a percentage may have an impact on your maximum potential savings.
Take note that all solar panels degrade over time, yes, even the ones in space! But there are some that have a degradation rate that’s much slower than others. Factors affecting a solar panel’s durability and degradation rate vary such as climate, temperature, and materials.
So if you want to have a solar system that has the most optimal function, a premium solar solution is the way to go.
The good news is that there are solar power systems that have a warranty of up to 25 years. The best way to go about it is to talk to your potential solar power installer and explore the possibilities.
