| Sep 22, 2016 at 15:16 | comment | added | spicetraders | I have installed solar panels on active bombing and target ranges for years. I have seen 20mm direct hits to all sorts of shrapnel impacts to them. Never had one go out do to a hit. Never had a full shatter to the face from hits. A few small chips (fixed like a windshield rock chip). And at most a few milliamps loss in output. All panels 2X4ft 250-300w units. | |

| Aug 8, 2010 at 1:56 | comment | added | Sam Harwell | I guessed from the "several storms per year" that he could live in Austin, and it appears I'm correct. For those that don't know, we get at least one storm per year that will drop 3+" hail over some random section of the city. Very scary, and often nothing you can do to prevent significant damage to anything left outside. | |
