Dennis began his meteorology studies at Central Michigan University, researching hail damage reports alongside severe hail characteristics alongside Dr. John T. Allen. His master’s thesis at Villanova University examined projected changes in climatological hail risk exposure across the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/1af39ba9-8862-46a3-973b-540a96ad4702/Hail_Montage_right.jpg News - Dennis Weaver interview: Convective storm generation and hail formation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/38b9e8cf-7d5b-44da-929b-fc2fd2753277/Hail-in-Hand.jpg News - Dennis Weaver interview: Convective storm generation and hail formation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/24b67cde-71f4-440b-9fe9-121db86d9479/2.a..VDE_Hail_Risk_Atlas.png News - Dennis Weaver interview: Convective storm generation and hail formation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/b03f68e2-db02-479c-b860-08f0c1696bf4/2025_Covers_Social.jpg News - Dennis Weaver interview: Convective storm generation and hail formation - Make it stand out This interview with Dennis Weaver originally appeared in an industry trends article featured in the 2025 PV Module Index Report. https://retc-ca.com/news/hail-resiliency-curve-test-press-release monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/604d98c2-3aa5-4f6d-a23e-faacbbf2e361/HRC-press-release-data-visualization-RETC.png News - RETC and VDE Americas introduce solar panel Hail Resiliency Curve Test - Make it stand out The Hail Resiliency Curve Test uses calibrated air cannons to shoot progressively larger ice balls at progressively higher speeds and impact energies until glass breakage occurs.

The relatively large error bars associated with these Weibull curves are a reflection of the fact that the source data are based on pass/fail testing data, with large steps in effective kinetic energy. By comparison, the new Hail Resiliency Curve Test Program captures more granular test-to-failure data, which will significantly reduce statistical uncertainty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/708cf046-0be1-44c8-97bd-54eb2113aa70/Pilliod_HRC_quote.jpg News - Hail Resiliency Curve Testing for PV Modules - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/4885f948-ee70-4c05-9eee-d18602556195/Medcroft_HRC_quote.jpg News - Hail Resiliency Curve Testing for PV Modules - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/e548a6c7-7d82-4633-8f45-d7d422376ff4/Grenk_HRC_quote.jpg News - Hail Resiliency Curve Testing for PV Modules - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/26503b9e-478d-437c-b890-553d2d200514/IMG_0097.JPG News - Hail Resiliency Curve Testing for PV Modules - Make it stand out RETC’s test-to-failure program for solar panels uses freezer ice balls manufactured to IEC standards as a laboratory proxy for naturally occurring hail.

About the PVMI Report Since 2019, RETC’s annual PV Module Index Report has empowered project stakeholders to mitigate technical risks. The PV Module Index Report compiles the results of beyond-certification bankability tests conducted at RETC’s highly accredited independent testing laboratories over a 12-month period. The report aggregates and reports these data according to three interrelated and equally influential disciplines: module reliability, performance, and quality. RETC plays an essential role in PV performance characterization and optimization. Our laboratory and outdoor testing services help manufacturers identify cell-level degradation mechanisms and module-level failure modes during product development. In parallel, our work assures owners, insurers, financiers, and independent engineers that mass-produced PV products will perform as expected during commercial operations. Our state-of-the-art testing laboratories use calibrated and certified equipment under audited and controlled conditions. Performance characteristics captured under these rigorous testing conditions represent the true measure of PV module performance. The PV Module Index Report enables data-driven PV project development approaches that identify, quantify, and mitigate project-specific technical risks. The goal of a data-driven approach to project development is not to eliminate every risk at any cost but rather to balance risk mitigation based on a holistic cost-benefit analysis. The bankability tests underlying the PV Module Index Report are foundational to science- and engineering-based approaches to technical risk mitigation. https://retc-ca.com/2022-pvmi-plaques daily 0.75 2022-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/d6069999-a012-4166-97ca-493710b6357b/Aro+Ha_0387.jpg https://retc-ca.com/just-the-logo-for-email-signatures daily 0.75 2023-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/0489aa30-5073-465d-9919-c0f279d0b031/RETC+Logo.png https://retc-ca.com/download-2023-pvmi daily 0.75 2023-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/05de2d99-e428-4fbe-9436-4b71f4098992/RETC_Logo-RGB_HighRes.png 2023 PVMI Report (Request) https://retc-ca.com/redirect daily 0.75 2024-05-06 https://retc-ca.com/download-2024-pvmi daily 0.75 2024-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/05de2d99-e428-4fbe-9436-4b71f4098992/RETC_Logo-RGB_HighRes.png 2024 PVMI Report (Request) https://retc-ca.com/download-2025-pvmi-1 daily 0.75 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/448de7e0-6e01-45cc-a2aa-5508452cf4c5/RETC_part_of_VDE_GROUP_RGB_2025.png 2025 PVMI Report (Request) https://retc-ca.com/services daily 0.75 2025-10-21 https://retc-ca.com/services/lid monthly 0.5 2020-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fe5c95592812f68d3eae5/1608242297645-DMVZGBVX5QZ85NY3U90U/LID_Service Services -
