Fellow Wrenches, We have an engineer-type whose wife wants badly to do a PV system, but he puts up barriers. In her words: Well, I don't know how long ago it was, surely old technology by now, but some experimental solar panels at Sandia Labs were shattered by hail and it caused a big controversy. My husband says it turned him off solar.It comes up every time I talk to him. Either he is complaining about the wind or the hail or whatever.I get to respond to this, and am seeking specific assistance: Can anyone send me a link to any formal standards, or reports of aggregated field experiences, indicating that wind and hail (not to leave out "whatever") are not issues of concern when PV modules are installed correctly? Anything that came from Sandia Labs would be ideal, but it just has to be reputable enough to satisfy a grouchy retired national lab engineer. Web links, reports, product warranties, etc. - all good. Thank you in advance. Allan --
