Solar panels have a lifespan of around 25-30 years, and during that time they can produce enough electricity to power a home or business.

In contrast, fossil fuel power plants have a lifespan of around 50 years and require constant maintenance and repair.

On the other hand, the cost of fossil fuels continues to rise, making them an increasingly expensive and unsustainable energy source.

The environmental impact of solar energy is significantly lower than that of fossil fuels, with solar panels producing zero greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
