Hail?

Doobs · June 2021

Any suggestions on how to protect the built in solar panel on our tab 400 2021
from potential hail damage when not parked inside?
thanks!

Yoga pad strapped across the top? I lost a couple sets of panels to hail until I got better at watching the Wx forecast and strapping a panel down. But I used to live in North TX in an area that got more hail than average.

There is a newer but $$$ bulletproof flexible panel brand, Merlin, that allegedly might stand up to hail much better... if you happen to lose your factory panel to a round of 3" hail.

There are several discussions on hail protection.

I’m more worried about the roof being damaged than the solar. Wish they had a fiberglass or composite roof instead of aluminum.

@Doobs - although easier on our 320, you can cover the roof/panels with a large, light weight RV rug.

Hail?
