As hurricanes become more frequent and intense, the durability of solar panels and hurricane resilience is a common concern. Modern solar panels are engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. Proper installation by certified professionals is crucial for ensuring that panels remain secure during storms. While solar panels are not entirely hurricane-proof, their tempered glass and durable frames offer significant resistance to wind and impact damage. Preventive measures, such as using hurricane clips, reinforcing mounting hardware, and trimming nearby trees, can further minimize risks. Post-storm inspections and maintenance are essential to maintain system efficiency and safety. Insurance coverage for solar panels should be reviewed to ensure protection against hurricane damage. With proper preparation and maintenance, solar panels can continue providing clean energy, even in hurricane-prone areas.
