😲 seriously, why can’t they put acrylic or some sort of protective layer on those things?

I've said this before, they should just put these things indoors and when you want to make electricity, just turn on the overhead lights.

Don't worry the electric company will pass 100% of the costs onto the consumer... Win win.. Uhh wait wut.
I'm sure it's nothing a 100 mil protective cover couldn't have prevented. Ya know cause it's more efficient money wise for solar. |

not the first time a solar farm was wiped out.
Nebraska 2023 with 14.4 panels https://www.foxnews.com/politics/neb...rces-fragility Texas 2020 and then in 2022 https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimfoer...h=7a45752529f1 Hurricanes, blizzards, tornados, hailstorms, and wildfires are all weather events that pose risks to solar farms, but the costliest weather event that threatens the solar industry is not the most frequent or deadly. Hailstorms have been the biggest weather risk to the solar industry for asset damage and loss. Solar Power World reported that summer hail in Texas in 2022 caused over $300 million in damage to solar fields, ten times more costly than the solar damage caused by Hurricane Hanna in 2020. So, what makes these icy projectiles so dangerous? Part of it has to do with the science of forecasting hailstorms and the risk resiliency plans of solar developers. And sometimes physics simply wins. Last month in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, baseball-sized hail collided with glass solar panels at an estimated 100-150 mph, essentially destroying the entire solar farm. |

Or round up all the illegals and give them tennis rackets when a hail storm is coming. Let them earn their citizenship. |
