Texas hailstorm seriously damages solar farm
We need to learn from what Tesla taught us and stop this stupidity. They built this in Texas. Stupid
A hailstorm earlier this month has damaged thousands of solar panels at the 350-MW Fighting Jays Solar Farm in Fort Bend County, Texas.
“Golf ball”-sized hail fell in the area on March 15, and aerial footage captured from a helicopter offered a glimpse at the extent of the damage.
Fighting Jays Solar Farm’s website says insurance policies are in place to cover catastrophic events like hail storms.
(Yes you dumb ass but that is gonna raise everyone else’s insurance rates).
The solar industry is losing $2.5 billion annually from equipment under performance, likely caused by equipment malfunctions and weather conditions, according to an article in kWh Analytics’ 2023 Solar Risk Assessment.
Hail is becoming a prominent issue for the PV industry as more sites are being built in the central U.S. — a hail-prone region — and modules are moving towards larger formats with thinner glass.
To mitigate the damage that hail can cause, moving panels into hail stow is an effective technique.
However, since it requires moving the panels out of the optimal production angle, there is concern that utilizing hail stow will lead to a material loss of revenue.
(It’s already a loser).
Last year, GCube Insurance (GCube), an underwriter for ‘renewable’ energy, released a report stating that the solar industry needs to confront the (alleged – Ed) escalating frequency and severity of hailstorms with pragmatic, low-cost solutions.
I have a low cost solution for you, dismantle all that worthless crap, haul it to the dump and start running some cows.
