Luckily, robust protective measures like specially engineered glass, panel tilt orientation, raised panel mounting, and hail guards can mitigate most hail damage..
Solar panels, with thick tempered glass, can endure hail diameters from 1 to 1.75 inches, propelled at speeds of 25 to 40 mph, and typically withstand severe hailstorms..
Historically, solar photovoltaic PV modules have survived the majority of hail events they have experienced..
According to IEC 61215 standard, a PV module should resist at the minimum to the impact of a hailstone of 25 mm launched at 80 km/h, while the Swiss VKF standard demands a minimum of 30 mm, practic. [pdf]
