Iraqi people destroying solar panels. On baghdad to cut energy dependence on iran. On that occasion it had been shared by a bjp supporter gaurav pradhan. For example a few bullets can easily destroy a pv panel. Pv panels are no more likely to survive in iraq than grid power.

The bulk of iraqi power in the post war years was from the myriad individual home generators. Although solar panels have come a long way the technology of these free energy generators is constantly improving and while solar panels are meant to withstand most climates and are built to last up to 20 years they re still not immune to damage especially since they re made from outward facing glass.
