@Frost oof. Hope theres not much damage. Might want to ballast it before the next one.

@Frost ouch. I'm interested to hear if they're damaged. I worried about the panels on our roof but there's no sign of them in the garden so I expect they're ok.
A call to the insurance company later?

@Frost I've had this happen several times in my frequently mobile life. They've even sailed tens of metres thru the air and survived.

The event that did for most of my original 1990s set of BP solar panels [laser etched - wow!] was while sculpting on a construction site in 2008. The first cold winter in SE UK for years, and a storm blew them flat overnight, collapsed the frames and then covered them in 10 cm of snow.

The site security guard decided to cut across my area, and seeing the nice flat path in the otherwise complex snow patterns, the heavy guy walked over the back of 6 of the 8 panels in his studded boots before he wondered about the crunching noise.

Multiple-failures scenario. I couldn't get anyone to pay-up of course.

You'll update us on whether yours survived?

@Frost Have you checked the sc amps and oc volts from the broken ones? I've had ones with about that degree of breakage giving almost full output --- for months!
