Your solar panels’ lifespan is long enough to produce decades of renewable energy for your home. Additionally, solar panel recycling options mean that once your system does finally reach the end of its life, you can be confident that your panels won’t end up in a landfill.

The limiting factor isn't likely to be the solar panels.

Barring accidents, I'd expect at least about 20+ years life from them.

Same for the electronics.

 

The least life items (quite expensive and needing a good maintenance routine) are the batteries.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they needed replacement after about 10 years. ( sooner if the maintenance is a bit slack)

With technology improving as it does, I imagine 10 years would be the time limit for most solar hardware.
