6 FAQs about [Solar panel impact resistance]

What are solar panels resistant to?

Solar panels are highly resistant to damage from windy conditions. Most in the EnergySage panel database are rated to withstand significant pressure, specifically from wind (and hail!).

Will my solar energy system withstand a storm?

If you live in a windy area, it is important to know how your solar energy system will withstand a storm. Generally, solar panels are highly resistant to damage from windy conditions. Most solar panels are rated to withstand significant pressure, specifically from wind.

Are tempered glass solar panels safe?

Well-made solar panels are protected by a thick layer of tempered glass that can tolerate a substantial amount of hard impacts (we’ll get into how solar panels are tested for impacts later). Tempered glass is known to withstand moderate hail and comes with a high safety rating so that it can be used outdoors for many years.

What can damage solar panels?

Solar panels are commonly damaged by natural objects like tree branches, hail, or branches. Other objects can be baseballs, golf balls, frisbees, kites, and other sports equipment and toys. Even animals such as squirrels and birds can cause damage to your panels.

Do solar panels shatter or break in half?

Solar panels rarely shatter or break in half from normal surroundings or the elements. The vast majority of solar panel manufacturers have designed their panels to withstand impacts equal to golf ball-sized hail and withstand winds up to 140mph.

What is the weakest link in a solar panel system's wind resistance?

The weakest link for the wind resistance of a solar panel system is rarely the panels themselves. In most instances where wind causes damage to a solar array, failures occur due to weaknesses in the racking system or the roof the panels are affixed to.
