So you got solar panels up top...
...And a storm approaches full of hail.
Can those units withstand the wrath of mother nature, say up to a 1/2" of hail?
If not, what would your plan be?
I ask because we camp in Central and Eastern MT and MN where hail can happen quite often.2021 310GK-R - MorRyde suspension and pin box. Sumo Springs. Solar, 7k axles.

From energysage.com https://news.energysage.com/solar-pa...ail-hurricanes:
"Solar panel manufacturers test their products to ensure that they are capable of withstanding hailstorms. In most cases, solar panels are tested to wothstand hail of uo to 25 mm (one inch) falling at 23 meters per second (approximately 50 miles per hour)."
Your solar panel manufacturer should have a spec sheet that will tell you the impact resistance of the panel.
