I happened to catch a bit of a science show on TV about photovoltaic power, and they had a light powered by some of the first commercial photovoltaic cells produced, by Bell labs in 1954. They still worked fine, 53 years later. No moving parts, really nothing to wear out or ever need any maintenance, there's no reason to think that they can't keep working forever. en.wikipedia.org When you think about them this way, that every solar power unit will continue to contribute far into the future, we should be producing them like mad, and funding a Manhattan Project efort into producing better, more efficient ones.
