    The way I’ve seen it is that Solar Panels of quality can last for 10 years. Electric cars also need less maintenance like oil changes, mufflers, etc. So, the thought of having a system where you don’t need to re-purchase or even talk to someone that would “fix” the thing for the better part of a decade is untenable. The same reason most things are going subscription service, even if one is not needed. They need to be constantly rolling in money, or they don’t feel whole.

      Solar panels last way longer than 10 years. Usually they have a 25 years warranty on them that means that after 25 years they are still producing at least 80% as much power as they were producing when new!
