How well do solar panels handle tennis ball sized hail?
About as well as your roof and car. Normal hail is fine.
But why don’t they simply exclude the solar panels from coverage. The article indicates they are cancelling the entire home coverage.
it isn’t hail that is the real problem. nearly every insurance claim related to solar panels is a result of the collateral damage caused by installation and maintenance. any time an installation of virtually anything is on your roof there will eventually be resultant damage. if someone puts a hole in a roof it WILL create an eventual leak point. installed a lot of skylights in my young construction days and the only guarantee was that eventually it would leak and cause considerable damage followed by insurance claims. insurance is not a guarantee...it is a “just in case” that you pay a commensurate amount of replacement money for. have an uncle who is an actuary. it’s insane how much money insurance pays out in relation to how much an individual insuree pays in. protect yourselves and your roof. never let ANYONE convince you that bolting something to your roof is a great idea. it isn’t.
