Can a solar system be damaged if a flood hits the roof?
Most residential and small commercial solar energy systems are rooftop installations which are less likely to be affected by flood damage. If flooding doesn’t reach the roof of your home, you should have nothing to worry about as long as your home wiring systems are still intact such as the wiring for the solar panel system’s inverter.
How does wind damage a solar system?
Solar modules are also vulnerable to falling objects if they are carried by the wind. Hail can damage solar modules by hitting them directly, or it can leave debris on the modules through which water can enter the PV system. Lightning is the most common cause of damage to PV systems.
