I've never heard of someone having their PV panels taken out by hail, the friends who were over earlier today were telling me about their house getting hit by 2.5" hail a years back that took out their green house and dented their cars but didn't harm their PV panels that charge their electric car, electric tractor and off grid house.

can you find me panels at $1/w

The solar installer I was talking to last week offered me some name brand PV panels for $1.50 per watt (25 year warranty too) but I had to turn him down because I have my name on some that are $.89 per watt due to a liquidation sale where 1,000's of pallets of them were sold off at that price, with a flood on the market like that the price is coming down.
In 1984 we paid, what would be close to $18 per watt in todays dollar for panels that have held up to hail, wind, being removed and re-installed on other buildings and are working just as well today as they did 28 years ago.
