Hail Ratings: Built Like a Windshield
The tempered glass protecting modern Tier-1 solar panels is remarkably tough. SunBeam Innovations installs hardware rated to withstand direct impacts from golf-ball-sized hail traveling at high speeds (up to 88 mph). When severe spring storms hit Dallas, your solar panels act as a protective shield for the portion of the roof they cover, often surviving impacts that would otherwise destroy standard roofing shingles.
