30 years ago was 1996. No 30 year panels have lasted anywhere near 30 years yet.

And your point is?

How long would you say a properly installed panel from 2000 made it in practice? How long would the modern equivalent installed in 2025 be expected to make it? And how many replacement events does each of those make for over the course of your life?

Do you contest my earlier claim that solar is roughly equivalent to wood siding or an asphalt shingle roof?
