Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe

At least those items you only need to buy once.

What? Have you ever had a battery powered device for longer than 2 years?

All of them, plus storage batteries are under much less abuse and are different chemistry that lasts a lot longer.

By a quick search I didn’t find any claim of storage battery lifetimes outside of 10-15 years, so there doesn’t seem to be a breakthrough in tech I wasn’t aware of. 15 years is hardly the lifetime of a house, so you certainly don’t “buy only once”.
Solar panels also don’t work indefinitely but their efficiency degradation is more on par with the lifetime of major parts of the building, like the roof itself.
