Texas gets quite a bit of hail as well, so you would think he would know if it was durable or not. Here is a link to some examples of thin film application:

There are so many better green energy potentials, why all the push for one that even working efficiently will have serious environmental impact - that is solar.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

John Reece and Sparko may be right after all. The low oil prices might persist all next year. So, this year will not be the start of the Era of Solar PV power, but rather 2016 . . . or later?The greater number of laws . . . , the more thieves . . . there will be. ---- Lao-Tzu

Free courses on building your own solar PV system http://solpowerpeople.com/solarmooc-academy/
Somehow I managed to stumble on to that, but rest assured that this is reco'd by an outfit that I trust. All Sparko can make fun of is my somehow managing to stumble over something that may be valuable.The greater number of laws . . . , the more thieves . . . there will be. ---- Lao-Tzu

The Golden Age of Solar PV power may be somewhat delayed, if this company is as good as it looks. http://falconridgeoil.com/ Maybe the age won't start for good until 2017?The greater number of laws . . . , the more thieves . . . there will be. ---- Lao-Tzu

You can't use standard PEX tubing in constructing your solar water heating system. Extreme temperatures and pressures generated in that kind of system will rupture the standard PEX tubing. This article
http://commonsensehome.com/solar-water-heating/
offers advice on hiring an installer and much else.The greater number of laws . . . , the more thieves . . . there will be. ---- Lao-Tzu
