Typhoons create wind pressure on the module surface, which can lead to cracked glass, deformed frames, micro-cracks in the cells, power degradation, and even complete module failure as they are blown away and damaged.
Wind exerts two primary forces on solar panels: uplift and drag. Drag, on the other hand, pushes panels sideways, testing the strength of your mounting system.
This is important for two reasons: wind causes an excessive force on the solar PV modules and the PV mounting system, and wind load impacts how near the solar PV panels must be placed to the roof's edges.
These components connect your panels, inverters, and batteries-keeping your system running smoothly. Without proper wiring, energy can be lost, systems may fail, or even catch fire.
Energy data and analytics firm Wood Mackenzie believes that solar PV module prices will climb by about 9% in Q4 2025. The rise is driven by polysilicon consolidation, supply cuts, and the removal of China's 13% VAT export rebate, with further increases expected in 2026.
Photovoltaic (PV) panels are designed to absorb sunlight, not reflect it. Modern solar cells use anti-reflective coatings (ARCs) to trap photons, boosting efficiency while minimizing glare.
Yes, most solar panel installations require permits. Whether you're installing rooftop panels or a ground-mounted system, local building departments typically require permits to ensure safety, code compliance, and proper grid connection.
