WINAICO said that its WST-250P6 series modules, survived the newer test that involve projectiles with approximately four times the kinetic energy of the standard 25mm stones traveling at 23 m/s (83 kph).
“The capability to withstand severe hail strikes is particularly important for mountainous and heavy snow regions, and is especially valuable in Australia, South Africa and the Alpine regions such as Switzerland and Austria”, said Sascha Rossmann, Vice President of Global Sales at WINAICO.
