Technical FAQs 4

Are solar panels waterproof?

Almost always, rooftop or ground-mounted solar arrays will have panels exposed to rainy, wet weather, meaning panels must be waterproof to keep producing power for many years. Because solar panels have been exposed to the elements for several decades, they need to resist water damage as possible. All home solar panels are waterproof.

Are Solar Fairy Lights waterproof?

Both the solar panels and the solar string lights of Solar Fairy Lights are IP65 waterproof. They can withstand all kinds of wet weather, including heavy rain and snow. Powered by solar energy, the lights turn on automatically at night and off during the day, providing 8-10 hours of warm white fairy light with a full charge.

What is a Solarglass Roof?

The Solarglass Roof is made of transparent tempered glass that is three times more durable than conventional roof tiles. It has the highest ratings in hail (Class 4), fire (Class A) and windproof (Class F) tests, demonstrating excellent durability.

What happens if a solar panel gets flooded?

A non-waterproof solar panel may get flooded with water, causing less sunlight to reach the solar cells or even breaking individual cells. If this happens, they will likely not produce the power needed to fulfill their production warranty promise, and your solar manufacturer will replace any water-damaged panels.
