Degradation is ~1%/yr, we're hedging that the panels will be good for 25-30yrs but nobody has been around long enough to actually know. In good states, the panels justify themselves much sooner than that.
In certain parts of the country solar makes a ton of sense. Others, not so much. If millenials ever start owning houses, hopefully it'll become normal to see panels (and batteries) on most people's houses. Boom, instant distributed power grid... No more blackouts in CA and the west coast as climate hell continues to engulf us all.
