If the BK doesn't come up on a google search, there is no other way to find a BK that would be cheaper than PACER. If the person has a common name, that will obviously be a problem. But, if you know in which jurisdiction they filed, you should be able to find the case and won't incur $10.00 worth of charges. It really won't be that expensive.
Hail larger than 1 inch in diameter (golf ball- or baseball-sized hail) can cause considerable damage to panels, although hail of this size also generally causes damage to most structures. To protect your solar panels, a solar panel protective cover is recommended during the times when hail is expected.
Taking precautionary measures for your solar panels is especially important. Solar panel hail test results show that most panels can withstand winds of up to 50 miles an hour with quarter-sized (around 1 inch) hail; however, hail of larger sizes with stronger winds can cause problems for homeowners with solar panels.
