Solar Panels and Summer Storms: Ensuring Durability and Resilience
Solar panels are a significant investment, so you want to be sure they will last even in extreme weather conditions. Fortunately, solar panels are designed to endure various weather conditions, including hail, extreme wind, and even sweltering heat. In addition, solar companies have so much faith in their products that they offer warranty programs.
Solar Panels Undergo Comprehensive Testing
Solar panels are built to last. Solar panels are exposed to simulated storm conditions during the assembly process to ensure optimal performance. Using feedback from each testing session, manufacturers improve the design until they are sure the solar panels will perform as promised.
You don’t have to close your eyes and hope for no damage during a storm. Solar panels have been tested in all conditions. Some common threats to solar panels include the following:
Hail
Large hailstones can cause damage to various parts of a property. You will see roofing structures with divots and marks left by hail after a severe storm. However, modern solar panels are built to withstand the effects of hail. Solar panels are durable, using top-quality materials like tempered glass. Each panel is framed to protect the solar cells inside.
High-Speed Wind
Do you worry that 50 mph winds will blow your solar panels right off the roof? Take comfort that solar panels are designed with high wind speeds in mind. During manufacturing, wind testing is part of the process of creating solar panels that can withstand strong gusts of wind. Reliable mounting systems ensure stability amid wind speeds up to 140 miles per hour.
Extreme Heat
As temperatures rise, you may worry about the sun melting the solar panels as they are fully exposed on your roof. But there is no need to fear. The resilient materials are meant to soak in the sun and are resistant to heat damage.
