The (guaranteed) life span of the solar panels is more than 20 years. It is normally considered to be 25-30 years.
The other component (the inverter) is expected to be replaced in 12-15 years. Its cost is around 10% of the system, and these units are expected to be much cheaper in the future.
Overall, it is common to chose the components (solar panel and inverter) from a known vendor with a long enough experience. Ask it from your solar system provider.

But I imagine they must be durable since it takes several years for the large sums needed for the initial investment to pay off.

Just seems too good to be true for Israel…
