"Dramatic" storms often cause
considerable damage to PV modules
Not only is the number of storms increasing with climate change – their intensity has also increased massively. This means that not only home and vehicle owners are experiencing enormous damage after heavy storms. Photovoltaic system operators are also not spared from this. The consequences of storms are quite different. The damage could be to the module itself or to the anchoring: It is always important to check whether everything is still in the right place.
Providing evidence of storm damage to solar modules – for a wide range of interested parties
Modules themselves are also subjected to higher loads in storms. This can affect their operation and lead to a reduction in performance. The extent to which you can see this with the naked eye is usually in line with severity of the storm.
SUNLAB puts modules through their paces after the storm to determine possible damage.
The following damage can result from a storm:
Modules pulled out of their anchorage
Impacts from flying objects
Micro cracks and cell breakages due to constant movement
Immediate measures after storms:
After a strong storm, it is necessary to examine your modules. Check that all modules are firmly anchored and that nothing is "wobbly". Of course, after severe storm events - such as hail storms – it is recommended to have your modules professionally tested at SUNLAB if there is any doubt. Contact...
