What if there’s a hailstorm? Can the solar panels withstand hail?
Solar electric panels are built with high-impact tempered glass. The solar industry standard dictates that panels should be able to withstand 3/4″ hail at 60 mph. One of our solar PV panel manufacturers even performs tests by shooting ice cubes at their panels at 140 mph. If your solar panels do suffer any hail damage, you can claim the damage via your homeowner’s insurance policy.
