I have been an advocate of solar power for many years. One criticism that you often hear leveled at “fragile glass solar panels” is that will only last a few years. Apparently they are more resilient that anybody thought.

I'll take bets that it's not working now....????

modular layout does not equate to the panels being stronger.

solar panels can stand normal weather including even heavy hail or high wind speeds . Missiles and rockets , are not included in the tests , and no , they do not survive it . This post is useless , since if anybody here is involved in missiles and rockets , they are not interested in "how are my solar panels doing" but rather in surviving themselves . In order of normal weather or even very heavy weather , yes they will survive most of the time . Standard hail or storm is no issue , storms who do bring down homes , and hails the size of eggs , well thats different , but then it is all looking on how the home survived itself . Solar panels are strong , as strong as normal homes , not bunkers ....
