How are those solar panels after a hail storm like Ya’ll get in TX.

My brother lives in Allen, TX. He has replaced the roof on his 3 times in 20 years.

I’m in Texas and have the same question re hail storms and solar panels. I’m right now in the middle of my 3rd roof replacement in 35 years. I didn’t think the storm was that bad but State Farm says we need a whole new roof.

I live North of Allen near Prosper we just had golf ball sized hail twice this year so far. Both my roof and my large solar system both have hail ratings they both are fine. The panels are thin film with flexible gorilla glass. Baseball sized hail would maybe dent them but not golf, marble or racquetball. Last time we had really big hail the house didn’t have the hail.rated shingles the only place not.damaged was under the panels ironically. Now every sq ft has hail rated or.metal roofing on steel building aka the vehicle stable.
