Just heard about solar suppliers sprouting bullshit about having to replace the whole system if the inverter fails. This makes me very angry. No wonder people are suspicious of renewables when charlatans in the industry do this.
Let's be clear. A solar panel will last > 25 years and then some. They DO NOT FAIL*. An inverter can be replaced and it will cost about a $1000 maybe. Don't let these people bullshit you.
The things that may fail on a solar panel are the bypass diodes or the optimisers, not the panels. Those diodes can be replaced.
