The life of the inverter is determined by the shortest life components, usually IGBTs, capacitors, inductors, etc., and the service life is generally not more than 10 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.
