What hits Westminster panels hardest?
Hail and wind. Westminster sits on the open plains side, in the path of storms that build off the foothills on summer afternoons. Many roofs here have simple pitches and easy access, so a storm check after a real hailstorm is quick.

What lands on Westminster panels?
Plains hail
Open ground to the north and east leaves roofs exposed to June and July storms.
Highway grime
US 36 and Federal Boulevard put a fine grey film on nearby rows.
Lake birds
Gulls and geese around Standley Lake leave droppings on roofs nearby.
Steady wind
Afternoon wind across open ground drives dust into the frame edges.

What do Westminster owners ask?
How do I know if hail hurt my panels?
Start with your app. A cracked panel can show as a dip in panel-level data, or a whole string may drop. Look from the ground for broken glass too. If you see either, book a storm check from $119. If nothing shows, it can wait for your next wash, when we look at every panel anyway.
Is output watch worth it here?
It suits storm-prone roofs. For $12 a month or $129 a year, the monitoring desk reads your production with read-only access and flags drops, such as output below 60% of expected for three clear days, the threshold in a UTS and UNSW method published in Solar Energy.
Do you wash here in winter?
Yes, on dry days above freezing. South-facing roofs often clear of snow within days, which makes a short winter rinse possible. We never chip ice or rake snow from rooftop panels, and we skip any day when water would freeze on the glass.
