Fellow wrenches,<br>
<br>
We have been involved with several remote village installs where the
kids like to throw rocks at PV panels. I've had reports that the PV
installs with Solarworld Sunmodule Protect series PV panels
installed in nearby villages have taken direct hits from rocks with
zero apparent damage. They've been in for about a year. <br>
<br>
I didn't believe the hype on them - especially the marketing video
from Solarworld but now that they've lasted a year with bored kids
trying to break them - they must be pretty tough.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
