Hey there good neighbor George, I doubt they could be made maintenance free (no way coming from this engineer, there willlllllll be maintenance cost) so my answer is the same as I posted to sv below
Good Moring, Sorry I don't have any data as to the longevity and maintenance cost and that sure would have to be included in any economic analysis. If its NOT feasible I WOULD NOTTTTTTTT invest (and recommend others not) UNLESS it was still worth it to me to be totally self sufficient if I was off grid or wanted to be ready if the grid went down AND THATS PRICELSS FOR SOME WHO SO CHOOSE.
Hey I cant make anyone else's decision or have any cost figures for maintenance and longevity, each have to make THEIR own analysis and decision based on THEIR NEEDS AND PRIORITIES AND FINANCES.

Best wishes, God Bless, study and research and make a wise informed decision that suits YOU and others should do the same
