Hail can damage solar modules by hitting them directly, or it can leave debris on the modules through which water can enter the PV system. Lightning is the most common cause of damage to PV systems. It can cause damage to the solar modules and inverters as well as to other electrical equipment.
Severe hailstorms pose a growing risk to owners and operators of solar farms. While you can’t eliminate the threat of hail damage, you can reduce their impact with strategic planning, a combination of preventative and reactive maintenance, and a comprehensive asset management platform.
A severe hailstorm has destroyed large parts of a massive solar farm, highlighting the perils of swapping traditional power sources for vulnerable green alternatives.
The largest financial loss caused by extreme weather at a US solar project between 2010 and 2020 was due to hail, according to renewable energy insurance specialist GCube. In May 2019, 174 Power Global was hit by hail that damaged 400,000 out of the 685,000 panels at its 178MW Midway Solar project in Texas resulting in losses of $70-$80 million.
An onslaught of hail in southeastern Texas that destroyed large portions of a massive solar farm is highlighting the perils of trading traditional power sources for vulnerable "green" alternatives and sparking concern about the potential for chemical leaks from the broken panels.
More than 400,000 solar panels were damaged in the Texas hail storm, causing $70 million in insurance losses. Four hundred thousand solar panels were damaged by the hail storm in Texas, and this event has led to a rapid growth in the hail modeling sector as companies seek to mitigate hail as a threat by knowing not only where these storms occur but how often.
