Hail damages photovoltaic panels

Hail consists of solid ice, which falls from the sky like rain or snow. Hailstones are created when moisture is quickly pushed upwards in the clouds during an updraft. These conditions bring hot and cold temperatures together. As a result, the tiny water droplets freeze and form round, solid hailstones. Heavy thunderstorms.Hail can damage the external surface AND internal components of solar panels. Not all solar panel warranties cover hail damage.

Hail can damage the external surface AND internal components of solar panels. Not all solar panel warranties cover hail damage.

Hail damage to solar panels is relatively rare thanks to the durability and design of modern solar panels, which are tested to withstand hail of various sizes, typically greater than 1 ¾" or 44 mm .

Hail can cause invisible damage through solar cell cracking at hail diameters and speeds less than that which would break the glass.

In most cases, solar panels are tested and certified to withstand a hail of up to 25 mm (one inch) falling at 23 meters per second (approximately 50 miles per hour).
