Dallas hot summers okay for panel
A1 SolarStore
With NOCT around 45 °C and that low temp coefficient, output stays reliable even when the roof’s baking.

panel shade tolerance ok?
A1 SolarStore
The split-cell layout and multi-bus-bar wiring let shaded strings keep producing, so you lose less when a vent pipe or tree hits part of the glass.

these half cut cells any benefit
A1 SolarStore
Half-cut 120-cell design lowers resistance and bumps shade tolerance so output stays higher when part of the panel is shaded.

It gonna survive hail storms
A1 SolarStore
The tempered-glass front and 5400 Pa wind/snow rating give solid protection; most Midwest hail events are well inside that limit.
