minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•5 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
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•5 months agoIt’s an issue for perovskite cells. “Traditional” silicon cells (which makes up probably 90+% of current installs) last 40+ years.

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
It’s an issue for perovskite cells. “Traditional” silicon cells (which makes up probably 90+% of current installs) last 40+ years.
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?
