I have some resources for you right here: don't get involved in
marital disputes. Consider this:<br><br>
They, collectively, either want PV or they don't. Until they agree
they want solar, you are wasting your time siding with one against the
other. All of the evidence in the world will not change a mind that
is not willing to change.<br><br>
Good luck.<br><br>

We have an engineer-type whose wife wants badly to do a PV system, but he
puts up barriers. In her words:<br>

<dd>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. <br><br>
</dl>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.<br><br>
Thank you in advance.<br>
