The solar panels themselves typically come with a 25-year performance warranty, guaranteeing a certain output level over decades. Batteries are the consumable component, with deep-cycle lead-acid batteries lasting 5-7 years and lithium-ion batteries lasting 8-12 years before needing replacement.\">\nA: The mechanical press component, with proper maintenance, can last 10-15 years or more.

Compressed Stabilized Earth Bricks (CSEB) can consistently achieve compressive strengths between 7 and 10 MPa (1000-1450 PSI), which is more than adequate for one and two-story load-bearing construction as per many international building codes. Strength is a direct function of the mix design, compression pressure, and proper curing.\">\nA: When produced correctly, they are very strong.
