Solar panels typically last between 25 to 30 years, and sometimes even longer. This doesn’t mean they stop producing electricity after a couple of decades; it simply means their energy production may decrease slightly. With proper care and maintenance, your solar panels can continue to provide significant energy benefits for 20 to 30 years, ensuring a sustainable and cost-effective energy solution for your home.

Leasing and buying solar panels both offer distinct advantages, depending on your financial situation and energy goals.When you purchase solar panels, you’re making an upfront investment, which can lead to long-term savings and ownership of the system. This also means you’ll directly benefit from any available solar incentives, such as federal tax credits, state rebates, and net metering programs. However, as the owner, you’ll be responsible for any maintenance and repairs once the system’s warranty expires.On the other hand, leasing solar panels or opting for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) can make solar more accessible with little to no upfront cost. With leasing, you simply make a fixed monthly payment for the energy produced, while the provider owns and maintains the system. This arrangement offers the benefit of hassle-free solar energy without the responsibility of repairs or ongoing maintenance, as the provider will handle those tasks during the agreement term. This option allows you to enjoy clean energy and lower utility bills without a large financial commitment.
