How long can a device like that run without needing attention?
Most solar panels have a 25 year warranty and pay for them selves in about 10 years, the warranty is based off their half life, so 50+ year life span meaning that the long term cost of electricity produced by solar is less then 2 cents per kwh and that is the installed cost, paying someone else to do all of the work.
