They must be really inefficient. Cause you keep posting about how much more efficient they get every year. So your 40 yo panels must be really primitive.

They are still working!

Can your ff power plant still work from back then with no maintenance over the last forty years?

LOL

Todays Mono silicon PV's are over twice as efficient and should have lifetimes well beyond those made in the late 1970's.

Sixty to a hundred years plus.
