title = "Multiple Hail Impact Testing",
abstract = "For resilient energy delivery PV modules and systems must withstand extreme weather events such as hailstorms, which are the leading cause of PV insurance claims. Currently, the industry testing is limited to one strike at a time, but in real hailstorms multiple hail strikes can occur within a fraction of a second. In this project we test if multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous hail strikes cause more damage than with single hail strike testing.",
