Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.

I feel like this is one of those things that definitely has to have happened before now; after all, grid-scale solar isn’t something we’ve just started doing in the last two or three years, we’ve been at it for at least 15 that I know of. And hail isn’t exactly a new phenomenon in TX. So I wonder why we’re hearing about it like it’s news. Is this fossil fuel funded bad press? Did they skimp on protection they shouldn’t have?

Solar farms on rust scale are relatively new, though. So this might have happened countless times before, but not that concentrated on a single entity.
