A well-installed solar system can last 25 to 30 years or more—and many parts continue performing well beyond that, just at slightly reduced efficiency over time.
At Sunmate, we only use high-quality components, including FoxESS inverters and batteries, which are trusted and reliable in UK homes.
🧩 Component Lifespans
| Component | Typical Lifespan | Our Warranty |
| Solar panels | 25–30 years | ✅ 15 years product warranty |
| Inverter | 10–15 years | ✅ 10 years (FoxESS) |
| Battery | 10–15 years | ✅ 10 years (FoxESS) |
| Installation | — | ✅ 10 years workmanship cover |
🔋 What Happens Over Time?
- Solar panels very slowly lose efficiency (about 0.5% per year on average)
- You’ll still generate plenty of power for decades — just slightly less each year
- Inverters and batteries may need replacing once during the system’s lifetime
📌 Summary
Your solar system is a long-term investment built to last 25+ years.
With Sunmate, you’re covered by strong warranties — including 10 years on all FoxESS components, 15 years on panels, and 10 years on our installation work.
