From 2008 to 2022, around 3.2 percent of solar power systems in the U.S. were affected by high winds every year, causing a production loss of four percent. Flooding and rain also affected solar farms during that period, impacting 2.7 percent of systems each year, which caused an annual production loss of 2.6 percent for that kind of weather event.
