[QUOTE="KG5VW, post: 3929698, member: 41673"] It will depend on the size of the hail, and the direction it hits the panels. They are designed and tested to withstand golf ball sized hail at terminal velocity perpendicular to the panel. Yes, we get bigger hail than that in some parts of the state but the odds of this size hail, hitting perfectly perpendicular, at your exact location can be pretty low. If it were me knowing this, would definitely buy insurance. I thought about trying to make a plywood cover I could deploy when needed but I don’t think you would have enough warning to do so unless you just did it anytime there was a high risk of large hail. In some parts of the state your risk of tornado/wind damage might be higher than the hail damage risk. Insure appropriately. [/QUOTE]
