Largely a non-story, and anti-solar propaganda. It is a consideration when designing solar panels and fields, but a minor one. Simply an insurance question: insure all the panels, if a storm happens, replace the destroyed panels. With the massively falling cost of solar panels, the cost to replace will soon be trivial, making this even less of a concern.

If I have to choose between an earthquake crippling a nuclear power plant, and hail storms damaging solar panels, I know which disaster I’d prefer.
Interesting if it's anti- propaganda coming from a "renewable energy world" journal.
I mean the linked tweet does seem to be from some anti-renewables idiot.
