Why storm-proof rooftop solar matters for your family’s safety

If you’re in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh, you know storms can hit hard—especially along AP’s coastal belt or Telangana’s open plains. Recent years have seen wild weather, from gusty pre-monsoon squalls in Hyderabad to cyclones battering Visakhapatnam. In May 2023, Jaipur saw over 1,000 rooftop solar systems damaged by a storm, and Mumbai’s 2024 dust storm (just 75 kmph) sent panels flying, causing property damage and even loss of life in related incidents. These events are a wake-up call: poorly installed solar isn’t just a financial loss—it’s a safety risk for your family.

At Unilux Solar, we’ve seen the fallout of flimsy installations in our region. That’s why storm-proof solar is a must for homes in Warangal, Vijayawada, or Guntur. Let’s dive into why strong mounting structures are critical, how Unilux’s WindPro Mount™ keeps your system safe, and why it’s a game-changer for Telangana and AP’s unpredictable weather.

The Rising Threat of Storms

Telangana’s dry, windy summers and AP’s monsoon-heavy coast make storm-proofing non-negotiable. A moderate 75 kmph wind in Hyderabad can rip panels off weak mounts, turning your solar investment into debris. Coastal Vizag faces cyclones like Hudhud, with winds up to 185 kmph, posing even bigger risks. Shoddy setups not only wreck your system but can endanger your home or neighbors—think panels crashing through roofs or sparking electrical hazards.

These incidents expose the flaws in India’s unorganized solar market, where cheap, on-site welded mounts rust fast and collapse under pressure. Who’s left footing the bill for repairs? You are, unless you choose a system built for Telangana and AP’s tough conditions.

Why Storm-Resistant Solar Matters

A well-designed rooftop solar system should deliver clean, free power for 25 years. But without a sturdy mounting structure, you’re risking:

1. Safety Hazards: Loose panels in a Kurnool dust storm can damage property or injure people.
2. Lost Investment: A ruined system means no savings and costly replacements, even with the ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy.
3. Downtime: Storm damage halts power production, spiking your bills in Secunderabad’s high-tariff zones.

Strong mounts secure panels, optimize their angle (12–15° for our region), and protect against Telangana’s dust storms or AP’s coastal gales, ensuring safety and savings.
