So the average lifespan of a wind turbine is 30 years, that’s not to say every component lasts that long, and a solar panel is designed to last on average 25 years. Your data is incorrect. Your argument is a fallacious nonsense as all mechanisms require maintenance or replacement. This goes exactly the same for a coal or nuclear powered electricity. It is significantly cheaper to replace a wind turbine than a nuclear plant. Did you include the maintenance costs of a coal or nuclear plant when comparing them to a wind turbine?

@antirnator8194 CSIRO gencost report and LAZARDs LCOE study both show that it is your unsubstantiated claim that is false. I'm not sure what you mean by never will? Are you suggesting the production of electricity is an absolute and there are no variables? Hilarious.

@garystrahan4601 Well no it hasn't. All LCOE studies include the lifetime maintenance costs. Your comment is factually incorrect.
