According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), solar panels last between 20 and 30 years. Some well-made panels may even last up to 40 years

The efficiency of solar cells (or solar modules at large) means the capacity of the item to capture the sunlight falling onto it and convert it into electrician energy.

The efficiency of solar cells (or solar modules at large) means the capacity of the item to capture the sunlight falling onto it and convert it into electrician energy. It is calculated by the total electrical output of the solar cells, divided by the incident solar power input under standard test conditions. The figures are then multiplied by 100. Different type of solar cells produce different level of efficiency based on the technologies used. For example mono-PERC cells are more efficient than polycrystalline cells. Similarly, TOPCon cells are more efficient than mono-PERC cells.

Several solar companies provide Operations & Maintenance (O&M) service for the initial 5 years as the major components like solar panels and solar inverters provide warranty for this period. Some solar companies give regular monthly cleaning in a package during the time of installation either for a period of 5 years and even after that. There are also some companies dedicated to the O&M services at a cost. However, there are also several non-professional companies that have flourished. Some of them are seen using high pressure water and detergents to clean the solar panels. So please choose your O&M partner based on their team strength and background.
See lessYes. Credence Solar has also announced venturing into the production of solar cells during an interiew with Saur Energy. It is likely to raise more money to make the plan a reality. Although the firm has not announced any concreate timeline for the same as of now.

Generally, rooftop solar offers an ROI of over at least 20% in most markets today. Hence, it gives a payback period of about 4-5 years. Even without any subsidy or incentives, chances are, it will pay back your investment in 7 years or less with good maintenance and a net metering regime.
