The recent hail storm in northern Italy has raised concerns about the potential damage these sudden and severe atmospheric events may cause to photovoltaic systems. what size hail stone will damage the photovoltaic system?

According to Dutch researchers, damage to solar panels mainly occurs on hail with a maximum size of at least 3 centimeters. They explained in the article "The Vulnerability of Solar Panels to Hail" that "larger hail (over 4 centimeters) causes greater damage on average compared to smaller hail, but their damage to solar panels is also more diverse

The frequency of hail in Europe and the Netherlands is increasing, and the damage caused by hail is also increasing. The direction of the roof relative to the direction of hail can greatly affect the damage caused by hail to solar panels, and it is pointed out that this factor may be more decisive than the size of hail.

Adverse weather conditions are inevitable, but the occurrence of this hail event requires the R&D department of photovoltaic panels and photovoltaic support systems to deepen their product research and development, focusing on the inevitable environmental factors that may be encountered in different markets in terms of product quality.

China's solar system manufacture products exports have reached a peak globally, and Kinsend is committed to the solar system manufacture and design of photovoltaic support systems to ensure safety and stability under high wind speeds and snow pressure. Looking forward to comunicate  more photovoltaic consultations with you.
