McWidowmaker Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yesterday's hail in Brakpan, killed 4 evacuated tubes on my solar geyser, 14 on a friends geyser, but no damage to my solar panels. I went up on the roof this morning, expecting some serious damage to the panels, but fortunately nothing. My aircon split unit was pummelled to bits, the neighbour has no whole windows on the one side of his house. Hail as large as chicken eggs and no damage to the solar panels? I'm impressed.

Mark Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks for the update. Was going to ask this question this morning but time ran away with me. Feel for you guys up there... Having a very mild spring so far in the Eastern Cape. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hobson Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 We had a hailstorm last year that broke 134 window panes here on the farm. The PV panels attached to a solar pump and in their summer tilt elevation (nearly flat) survived. I was impressed too. I had PG Glass phoning me asking to come and quote. I had to ask them to be patient as I first had to rebuild sections of our road before they could come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
