New research from India claims solar modules with 3.2 mm-thick front glass may not be strong enough to withstand storms producing big hailstones. The scientists found that a front glass of at least 4 mm should be used to avoid significant damage.Recent hailstorms in Europe and North America have damaged several PV installations and heated up the debate on how solar power generators can be protected by these unpredictable events. A study conducted by Dutch scientists in 2019 showed that damages to solar panels are primarily caused by hailstones measuring at least 3 cm in size. A new study from ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
