Solar Panel Storm Damage Information

4/10/2022 (Permalink)

Lewisburg, Selinsgrove, and surrounding areas experience all kinds of different storms throughout the year. Many of these storms cause little concern and do little damage to your home. However, high winds, rain, and other conditions may be a concern to the owner of solar panels. 

Hail Stones

Hail storms may not be common in your area, but they can create various problems for property owners. You may wonder about panel damage if hail starts falling, but you can have peace of mind knowing that these panels should not be affected.
The panels are made of tempered glass and highly flexible material, and are built to withstand impact from rock, hail or other materials.

Wind

While high winds can cause roof damage, they are much less likely to cause panel damage. Your solar panels are designed to withstand up to 140-mph winds. This means they can hold up against hurricanes and other less potent storms.

Snow and Rain

If you purchase a high-quality set of panels, they should last 25 years or more. They are well-equipped to handle a rainstorm or a snowstorm. The glass portion of the panels has protection from any negative effects from precipitation.
