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?
