Can a lightweight solar module survive severe hail? We put it to the test.
In this side-by-side comparison, our LONGi Hi-MO X10 Light Design Module and a conventional flexible module were hit with 25 mm ice balls (equivalent to severe hail under a red warning) at speeds of 23 m/s (~83 km/h) across multiple surface locations.
While the flexible module suffered internal cell cracking from the impact, our framed Hi-MO X10 sustained 0 cell cracks, keeping cell integrity completely intact.
Equipped with 1.6 mm semi-tempered glass, its thermally quenched, balanced-stress structure delivers exceptional impact resistance, anti-UV stability, and weather fastness, all while keeping weight down for low-load roofs.
