minus-square@exanime@lemmy.todaylinkfedilink4•11 months agoIs longevity currently a deal breaker? Asking because I’m pretty sure just saw an article about solar panels from the 90s that were still working at 70+% capacity

Is longevity currently a deal breaker?
Asking because I’m pretty sure just saw an article about solar panels from the 90s that were still working at 70+% capacity

Thanks for the info
Longevity issues combined with harmful rare mineral extraction kinda eats ass in the long run
Worse the the status Quo though?
