It never occurred to me that something could damage large sheets of glass sitting exposed in a field. This must be a one it 30 million chance.

Authoritarian climate crusaders most likely regard themselves as too enlightened, important and virtuous to heed cautionary tales about green energy. For everyone else, however, those tales remind us why we did not trust the crusaders in the first place.
According to ABC13 in Houston, a violent hailstorm on March 16 caused significant damage to the 3,300-acre Fighting Jays Solar Farm in Fort Bend County, Texas, prompting fears of possible leaking chemicals.
Local resident Nick Kaminski described the golf ball-sized hail, accompanied by heavy wind and rain.

Musta been one helluva a car. =;^)
The subsidies paid to setup the solar farm are long gone. In the long run, the rate payers of TX are probably better off with these subsidized KWH off the grid.
Curious to know if an insurance company was stupid enough to insure the farm against hail. After the last big hail storm in the DFW area, all car dealers put in these fabric (kevlar?) covers over their lots, because the insurers wouldn’t cover otherwise.
Tiny Mellons...There everywhere.
A single hail storm tore up half the roofs in my neighborhood, knocked down a crapload of trees, and made a lot of flooding that I’m sure did damage somewhere. Storms can get ugly, especially in the desert, we get mean nasty storms.
According to my somewhat suspect calculations, that’s 5 square miles.
It is not just hale storms, these materials leach out from solar panels naturally over time. Rendering the soil below it useless for generations.
The clean up will consist of taking them all down and burying them in a dump.
Huh!
Awwww-wwww!
Fixed it.
See! See! I was talkin’ about this exact thing maybe 10 years ago. That and tornado’s. Any body got a line on free wind mill blades, I got a great idea for my garden out back.
“I thought TX would have watermelon-sized hail.”
“That’s racist.”
Okay.... bowling ball sized hail.
“Some kind of gov’t grant” is the only way these hucksters can make a profit. The entire green machine is powered by government money.
"Home solar panels, made of silicon and more expensive, include no dangerous chemicals.
"But large solar farms often use the cheaper and more dangerous cadmium telluride panels."
Hope there are more of them.
Texas watermelon!
Cadillac car!
We’re not as dumb
As you think we is!
LOL!! That car could fly.....
