Which specific type of renewable energy?
There's essentially zero wear and tear on photovoltaic solar. Other than maybe a few fans it's entirely solid state.
Wind turbines are turning out to have widespread gearbox lifetime issues, with many gearboxes lasting significantly less than their 20-30 design lifetimes. But that's probably going to improve. And direct drive turbines are becoming more common.
