What happens to a solar panel in a wind storm?

Modern solar panels are built to withstand harsh conditions and most come with 20-25 year warranties. They can last much longer than that if properly installed, it is important to have a trained technician doing your installation. So how do I prevent solar panels from being damaged in high winds? You don’t have to do much. Most panels have a hard, clear plastic coating. Investing in a sturdy bracket and proper installation will pay off in the long run, and prevent the wind from having any effect on your solar array. Anything that hits the solar panel like hail or small tree limbs should bounce right off without doing any damage. The durability of PV solar has been proven in outer space NASA’s oldest solar panels are over 30 years old.
