As the object is moved in front of the Pixy, the data stream will print out the x and y coordinates, along with the object height and name. You can capture the data to a text file using standard Linux command-line redirection. For example: sudo ./hello_pixy > data.txt. A portion of the output I captured from the Pixy is shown in Listing 2.
Solar panels typically last between 20 to 30 years with many producing energy beyond that timespan. Lavrova notes that many systems installed as early as the 1970s are still producing power, albeit a little less than when they were brand new.
The key components susceptible to failure are the solar panels and inverter. However, high quality products tend to have long lifecycles which are reflected in the long warranties available, particularly for solar panels. A solar panel is relatively a simple device with no moving parts. Solar panels typically have 25 year output warranty and depending on the quality of the panel can be expected to last beyond this.
