First time I saw a hundred acre field of solar panels of I-70 my first thought was a hailstorm would make short work of it.
Strangely, hail can smash up the glass covering the photovoltaic cells and they will still work. I worked at a sporting clays range and the trap batteries were kept charged by solar panels. A couple were on the end of errant shotgun blasts from 30 or so yards. The glass was cracked all over but it still output the normal voltage.
