Silicon-perovskite solar cells are on the verge of revolutionizing power generation efficiency

There was an article about solar panel reliability. They found out that panels made in 2010 stated to degrade much faster just after 10 years.
I do not know how much it costs to install a set, but I bet most people expect them to last longer than 10 years.
They should pay more attention to longevity of these.
my understanding is that they become more complex with new and experimental materials used.
Who knows how long those hold.

The article you read was published in 2010. The advancements in technology are not static. What you read then is no longer relevant today.

Once current tech panels drop to 80% efficiency they tend to just stay at that, they can last up to 40 years.

Some of older ones have layers that could start separating.

Depends. They probably use many new materials. Most of them most likely are more efficient. But it will take years to prove they are all reliable and work as good in 10-15 years.
