The world is waking up from a long stupid slumber...

22. "The lifetime of solar cells is generally reported to be between 20 to 25 years"

NNadir: The lifetime of solar cells is generally reported to be between 20 to 25 years. This means they all need to be replaced regularly. There's a lot of talk about recycling what they become - electronic waste - but almost no practical low energy industrial infrastructure to do so. It's all soothsaying. We cannot afford to live by reading crystal balls.

Talk about "nonsensical rhetoric".

Most solar panels from reliable companies have guarantees of 85-90% output after 25-30 years. You've been informed of this before, yet apparently choose to ignore, and then continue to mislead others.

The Lifespan of Solar Panels

Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic or PV panels, are made to last more than 25 years. In fact, many solar panels installed as early as the 1980s are still working at expected capacity. Not only are solar panels remarkably reliable, solar panel longevity has increased dramatically over the last 20 years. In addition to decades of effective performance, many solar manufacturers back their products with performance guarantees in their warranties.1

Keep in mind that expected solar panel life expectancy doesn’t mean the panels on your roof will stop producing electricity after a couple of decades. It just means their energy production will decrease by what solar panel manufacturers consider optimal to meet the average American family’s energy needs. https://www.sunrun.com/go-solar-center/solar-articles/how-long-do-solar-panels-really-last

NNadir: The worst thing about the solar fantasy is its lack of reliability. Solar junk is subject to something called "night" as well as stuff called "snow" and things like "clouds," "dust" and the like. You'll hear a lot to excuse this awful reality from people who hype stuff like batteries and hydrogen and other very, very, very, very bad ideas.

You'll hear a lot of endless garbage like this from the NNadir's of the world, who simply cannot understand that hydrogen makes storage of solar and wind energy portable and usable. Would you rather have 30% of something or 100% of nothing?
