This stored energy can be used when the sun isn’t shining, such as at nighttime, on cloudy days, or during power outages.

Can solar panels withstand hail?

Yes. The solar panels have been tested to withstand impact forces 5 times greater than required by the ISO/IEC 61215 international standard. They will not be broken by 39 mm diameter hail (about ping pong ball size) traveling at 28 meters per second (terminal velocity).

Should you put solar panels on your roof?
