How do solar panels withstand hurricanes or hail?

Durability of solar panels in different weather conditions

Solar panels are designed to withstand various weather conditions, but hurricanes and hail can cause damage to them. Solar panels are usually made of durable materials such as glass and aluminum, but strong winds and large hail can still damage them.

Solar panels are usually installed on a durable base, and their durability can be improved, for example, by choosing the right mounting methods. In addition, solar panels can be protected, for example, by installing a separate protective structure on them, which protects them from weather conditions.

However, it is important to note that although solar panels can withstand a certain amount of hurricanes and hail, in extreme weather conditions their durability may be limited. That is why placing and installing solar panels carefully is important to ensure their durability.
