Hail Hails Happen

It is known that photovoltaic modules are an extremely durable technology, there are projects that were installed over 30 years ago that are still in operation! But what about the weather, how does this material withstand it? What is the mechanical resistance of the modules?

Even though plaques are extremely durable, we know how sensitive cells can be. Some microcracks present in photovoltaic cells can easily cause a decrease in the efficiency of the project as a whole.

Plates that follow this standard can withstand hail of 35mm at 100km/hr. Incredible!

Therefore, we see that it is not so easy for hail to cause damage to photovoltaic projects.

However, along with the hail, there is the wind!

Correct assembly of the fixing system is essential to resist bad weather, wind can destroy homes, businesses and most photovoltaic plants.

Let's be careful when installing too! The best way to dispose of damaged photovoltaic modules in Europe is with Conforsun.
