Graphite is a conductor, not a great one.
The thin film cells produced so far only have a 15 to 20 year life expectancy with a linear output decline to 0 over that time. Thin film farms built in 2008 are already nearing the end of their life or have already been upgraded to mono.
Mono appears to be at least 20 to 25 year and may last 30 to 50.
