Solar panels have quickly become a popular choice for eco-conscious individuals seeking to harness the power of the sun to generate electricity. But just how durable are solar panels, and what impact can they withstand?

It is important to note that our solar panels are designed to endure various weather conditions, from scorching summer heat to bitter winter cold. They are crafted with strong protective layers that shield them from environmental factors such as rain, hail, and snow.

When it comes to hailstorms, which are one of the most severe threats to solar panels, we’ve tested their durability at great lengths. As a result, our rigid solar panels are rated at 5400 pascals, meaning that their able to withstand hail traveling 209.8mph.

Another significant factor affecting solar panel durability is wind. As panels are typically mounted on rooftops or installed on freestanding structures, they must withstand strong winds without compromising their integrity. Rest assured that all our rigid solar panels are rated for high winds up to 2400 pascals, which is right at 140mph.

But it's not just external threats that solar panels can handle. Their robust construction also enables them to bear the weight of 5400 pascals worth of accumulated snow during winter. By design, solar panels’ tilt allows snow to slide off naturally, preventing excessive build-up.

One of the most remarkable feats of solar panels is their ability to endure the test of time. The majority of our solar panels have a lifespan of up to 25 years, attesting to the longevity of these energy marvels. The panels' ability to consistently generate power throughout this period speaks volumes about their reliability.

However, it is essential to ensure proper maintenance and cleaning to maximize their lifespan. Regular inspections and keeping the panels free from dirt, debris, and shading are vital. Thankfully, cleaning solar panels is relatively simple, requiring only water and a gentle detergent solution.

So, how big of an impact can solar panels withstand? From hailstones to hurricane-strength winds and heavy snow loads, our solar panels are designed to endure it all. Their resilience makes them an excellent long-term investment, as they continue to provide renewable energy and help protect the planet for years to come.
