Quick Answer: Solar panels require three types of inspections: a mandatory final inspection for new installations before activation, annual DIY self-inspections, and professional inspections every two years.
Solar panel lifespan typically spans 25-30 years of productive operation, with many quality systems continuing to generate electricity for 40+ years at reduced but still valuable capacity levels, making them exceptionally durable, clean energy investments.
Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (3-10kW) starting at $8,000 and community microgrids (50kW-2MW) from $100,000, with flexible financing options including PPAs and community solar loans available.
