Silvers low reactivity is why products using it can last so long. Especially in hot/humid conditions one can expect in solar panels. Combined with silver having the highest conductivity, in electrical devices it can't really be beaten.
It won't come down to "will copper/nickle/whatever be better than silver", it will come down to there isn't enough silver for these products so we have to accept lower lifetimes in most panels. They can't even hit 10 years reliably in these other panel technologies yet, once or if they do I think that will be the magic number for their take off.
The funny thing is with silver price so artificially low all these other techs won't even be properly developed. Shale oil/gas didn't take off until oil was reliably around $80/barrel because it wasn't seen as cost effective given the alternatives. The silver manipulators are just making the silver squeeze so much more successful on so many fronts you can't help but feel like it is being run by idiots.
