Just got a quote for panels - 8% degradation over 25 year life span.

That means they'll be producing at 92% of their initial production.

Significantly less than you are implying.

Yep. And they're great, unless you live somewhere like Minnesota where you don't get shit for sun half the year. We do have wind like crazy here in the great plains but not very many wind turbines. There's like 3 where I live that don't seem to work and that's literally it within a 100 mile radius. Minnesota is pretty progressive too so I wouldn't think it's an issue outside of wind turbines being vastly inferior.
