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.
After 25 years, a 10 kW system becomes an 8.75 kW system, and a 4 kW system becomes a 3.5 kW system. The type of solar panel you have, as well as weather conditions and how well you maintain the panel, will affect how long it lasts.
