Will Solar Panels Survive Denver Hail Storms?

Standard asphalt roofs in Denver are routinely destroyed by hail, but Tier-1 solar panels are built completely differently. SunBeam Innovations exclusively utilizes panels protected by ultra-durable, tempered glass. These panels carry the rigorous UL 61730 safety rating, meaning they undergo strict testing where ice balls are fired at the glass at high velocities (up to 88 mph). In most Denver hail events, the solar panels easily survive and actually protect the portion of the roof they cover.

Denver's "Mile High" elevation means the atmosphere is thinner, allowing more intense UV radiation to reach your roof. While this is fantastic for generating massive amounts of solar energy, it can degrade cheaper solar hardware. The Powur network hardware we install features advanced anti-degradation coatings, ensuring your system performs at peak efficiency under intense UV exposure for decades.

Severe weather often takes the Xcel Energy grid down. By pairing your hail-rated solar array with a smart battery backup, your Denver home stays powered, safe, and comfortable, no matter what the Front Range weather does.
