A new study found that solar panels last a lot longer than was once believed
Currently, solar panels come with a 25- to 30-year performance promise, and while a manufacturer’s warranty might have expired at that point, the panels may still be working extremely well.
A new analysis out of Switzerland looked at six solar arrays that have been running since between 1987 and 1993 and found that most of the panels were still producing more than 80% of their power — even after three decades.
The analysts looked at the “performance loss rate” of the panels, and found that the average annual loss was about a quarter of a percent — significantly lower than what’s been cited in previous studies.
What’s the nuance? The researchers found that temperature had a lot to do with how the performance of the panels fared over time, with those installed at lower altitudes facing higher temperatures, and they tended to degrade faster.
Even this knowledge is good news, though, as it helps us better, more strategically plan solar installations around the world.

Germany unveiled the world’s first vertical solar plant built on water.Aligned to not just catch midday sun, but early morning and evening light — on both sides — the innovative installation saves space, reduces costs, and sends energy right where it’s needed — in this case, powering an entire gravel plant.
Homicides in England and Wales are at their lowest rate since record-keeping began
Contradicting claims that crime has risen, the total number of homicides in England and Wales fell to its lowest since record-keeping began, driven by a dramatic decline in killings with a knife or sharp object.
The latest data shows 499 homicides recorded by police from September 2024 to 2025, a drop of 7% over the same period the year prior and the lowest since 2003. Homicide involving a knife or sharp object, specifically, fell by 23% to 174 over that time period.
Notably, London also saw homicides drop to the lowest level in more than a decade, with 97 total recorded in 2025, down 11%.
