to be fair that’s not a bad investment given the energy price cap is predicted to be &2k next year, payback in 10 years and the system probably has a life of 20 years.
A new study posted that 35 year old solar panels were still producing just at a lower rate. I think it was 80 to 75% to the original rate. Modern panels are better so the degradation should be slower.
How long before the solar panel people realize that’s bad for business? The phrase “they don’t make 'em like they used to” will eventually apply here, if it doesn’t already :( but that just means that the second-best time to invest in solar panels is probably today, not tomorrow.
