And this is why our local solar companies will not use solar edge products anymore. To many failures.Many electronics have a "bathtub curve" failure mode.I suspect that many of the solar warranties will prove useless. Not that the products will fail, but thr companies behind them won't exist when/if needed.
Almost all failures occur early on, or much later at end of life.
On my SolarEdge system, the inverter failed within the first 2 months, and was replaced at no cost.
I agree with you that many companies will just disappear in a 25 year timespan. One can only hope that does not occur for the company you bought from. The same could be said for other products.
GM declared bankruptcy in the 2008/9 Great Recession. That likely made warranties unenforceable for cars that had been sold in the previous 3 years .
The long length of warranty and the number of solar firms likely means that this would happen more often than for cars
