Solar panels failing with time, exactly the same.

I don't have to fill a solar panel with increasingly expensive fuel,
it never "runs out." It is a one off cost.

It will runs out when it fails. As everything does.

The energy it produces
becomes increasingly valuable as time goes by..

Without the subsidies, not a good return on capital.

This is what renewable means, Don't you understand that? It's simple

If I bought a petrol generator,I would have to buy petrol forever more.

Why would you want to generate your own electricity from a generator? No
mains where you live?

If solar generation were cost effective every single new building would be
fitted with it.
