Solar panels are touted as one of the best sustainable energy sources for homes and facilities that run on electricity. These panels give us access to a powerful and renewable energy source. But as much as these panels are perfect for home and commercial use.

Solar PV panels should last at least 25 years, with an occasional clean. The inverter will last approximately ten years. If your inverter is due for a replacement you may wish to upgrade to a solar battery that includes an inverter.
