How long does a foldable solar panel last?

Quality foldable panels last 5-10 years with proper care. Avoid creasing the cells when folding, keep them clean, and store flat. Output degrades about 1% per year.

Can foldable solar panels work in winter?

Yes, and actually more efficiently in cold temperatures. Solar cells are more efficient in cold weather. The challenge is shorter daylight hours and lower sun angles in winter.
