  "textContent": "A huge scientific survey of over 1 million German solar installations has revealed a surprising statistic: their potential to degrade year by year has been significantly exaggerated. Previous models have overestimated the rate of degradation in a solar installation’s ability to generate power by between 20% to 50% according to this new survey. “Back of […]\n\nThe post Scientists Were Wrong About How Fast Solar Panels Degrade – They May Last Twice as Long appeared first on Good News Network.",
