Glass used in solar panels is primarily low-iron tempered glass, with a thickness typically between 3 to 6 millimeters, ensuring optimal light transmittance and durability.
That's half the thickness of a normal single glass panel, and makes it more at risk to hail damage. With a typical 2 x MPPT 5kW/6kW inverter for example that would mean 8.
