How are Solar Panels Protected? Solar panels are made of solar cells and encased in durable glass for protection. Beneath the glass there is a layer of insulation and a protective back sheet. This technology protects against heat and humidity inside the panels to keep your home solar system running smoothly. Your solar panels also have an anti-reflective coating that allows them to absorb maximum power from the sun.1 Guarding Against Physical Damage to Solar Panels Your solar array is built to l
