Impact of hail on solar panel

In western China, solar panel are widely used, and many people worry that solar panel will be affected by local extreme weather such as thunderstorms. In fact, many solar panels have been tested for compression resistance when they leave the factory. Hesheng Xiaobian will answer the question of whether solar panel are afraid of hail.

Solar panel all have a certain pressure resistance, so the impact of ordinary hail on solar panels can be ignored. However, if you encounter super strong hail, you should pay attention to smashing or even smashing the tempered glass above the solar panel, which may affect the normal work efficiency.

Under normal circumstances, solar panel produced by regular manufacturers have undergone professional testing and certification, such as IEC 61215 certification, which includes multiple tests to ensure that the module withstands the impact of 35mm hail at a speed of 27.2 m / s or more than 98 kph. If it passes the relevant tests required by IEC61215, it shows that the solar panel's ability to withstand extreme weather such as hail and wind is qualified.
