Can solar panels withstand hail?
Solar thermal 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. We have seen panels survive 2″ hail. If your solar panels do suffer any hail damage, you can claim the damage on most homeowner’s insurance policies. Homeowner insurance typically requires no changes or additional costs to cover your solar system.
