  1. Title: How Solar Panels Hold Up in a Hurricane? solar companies encounter many real-world challenges in their design and development process, including hurricanes that have made landfall, namely Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irma. Through these experiences, we've learned that solar panels remain an effective solution for generating electricity in a crisis when the electrical grid is damaged or unavailable. Testing and Real-World Performance Second, to flooding, most damage caused by hurricanes is due to high winds and water associated with the storm. The wind can cause distinct "rain" damage, including damage done by water entering a home through holes in a roof or even complications with solar panels! Additionally, winds do not have common sense when deciding which direction they will blow from; as the eye of the hurricane passes and things begin blowing again in reverse, you may find your home's roof being attacked unnecessarily. When a homeowner has an inverter installed, their home has power as long as they plug into the converter. If a municipality had solar-powered traffic lights on major highways, it would bring traffic to a grinding halt unless there was an alternative way for electricity to be restored to the main town where all the traffic flows from and to. Continuing Measures to Improve Quality Assurance and Durability Some laws and rules stipulate when certain solar installations must be completed. So, if you're trying to open up a solar installation business, checking what the norm is in your region should be at the top of your priority list.

  2. It becomes clear to us now, after researching for this post, that despite the lack of standards in present solar energy technologies, most companies are working hard to create systems that are themselves capable. Currently, we realize we have been working under some misconceptions about these commonly overlooked technologies. As such, we plan on updating our website as soon as possible to accurately reflect all of the challenges encountered while getting a solar energy project off the ground. The Durable Module Materials Consortium (DuraMAT) is a group of national research labs and universities working to improve solar energy system materials and designs. Solar energy systems have survived multiple intense weather events such as Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Ike that hit the United States just a few years ago! So don't let worries about hurricane-force winds keep you from taking advantage of reliable and sustainable solar energy. With 5-year warranties protecting your investment today, you can rest assured that the panels will withstand even the wildest storms our nation may face during that time. So check back with us if you ever want more information on how to power your home or business without dealing with surging energy bills every month. Many solar companies have created solar panels specifically for inclement weather conditions that can be relied on to withstand difficult weather even if others are destroyed. So, if you live in a place that experiences harsh elements frequently, know the damage will not affect your solar panels nearly as much.
