Hail Resistance - a bit of controversy
I would like to offer you 2 points of view on hail resistance which I am seeing in my social bubble. 1. It shall be within the interest of every module maker to develop and design the modules with an improved hail resistance (resisting bigger hail size without damage), as the "hail showers" are more and more frequent even in regions where it was not very usual. The massive hail damage can happen nearly everywhere, therefore, never ending robustness improvements shall be part of the strategy of each module maker. 2. The fact that hail does not break the glass, but very likely breaks the cells is leading to situations that the asset owners have damaged plant, but proving it to the insurance company gets really expensive (EL screening). Insurance companies are reluctant to cover the damages, if the glass is not broken. For the sake of clarity, it would be the best, if the glass breaks as a matter of evidence. Then the whole insurance claim process goes much faster and the countermeasures can be done fast, cheap and easy. I wonder, which of those 2 ways is more resonating with you and why.

Is it an important aspect to consider when picking up modules, or is more the area where you install? Thanks 😀

@Călin Sas Thanks. Make sense.
Balcony Power
https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/Balkonkraftwerk-Speicher-Vergleichstabelle-2025-growatt-35528173.html Interesting output regards 800 W or 4 panels a 550W more or also less. 2400 W can be on DC side if Storage is built in It will VDE conform only lets in or out 800 W ,can be with meter also done for self consumption. Usually 900 € savings yearly can be achieved. Of course depending which side your balcony or roof is , east ,west ,south 360€ or with storage 1200€ in Germany

@Călin Sas is one of my focus, but still analyzing if red or blue :) as Jan said, the market will reach a stage when you could buy them in same basket with milk and tomatoes.

Anyways, I am interested in the topic as I am with another product of UPS in areas where energy is a luxury, or uninterrupted energy is a luxury. Making a plan, and maybe confronting here, to make a scenario where experts put the product with back on the wall. Thanks @Călin Sas for makingthis place a place for getting professional feedback and still feel like home / family 😀
Cost modeling
I'm modeling the capital carrying cost for various utility scale generation plants. The model assumes that a certain percentage of capital expense is attributable to development rights, such as land, and that these costs are recoverable at the end of the project life. What is a good rule of thumb for the percent of a solar project cost that is due to recoverable development rights?

@Lance Kaufman The question is how for a connection point and a piece of land, let's say rented, you can bring more value in time, or more utilization of it.

@George Negrescu you are here :) nice to see you again. Calin, you are right, George can have some good input here.
