Well then build solar "farms" in places where hail shows up and watch an enormous amount of capacity (which you don't happen to have laying around as spares) get destroyed.

By the way Texas is not a rare place for such to happen and incidentally, solar panels contain all manner of nasty toxic chemical and while in their "encapsulated" form they can't get into the environment being pummeled by golf-ball and larger hailstones breaks all that up and hammers it into the soil!

Contrast this with a natural gas, coal or nuclear plant which is unlikely to take any such damage at all and, if it does take some it typically is the sort of thing you'd expect if your roof got hailed (that is, there's roof damage and maybe some water that gets inside, but its manageable and quite-easy to fix.)

Green energy eh?

Wouldn't you prefer resilient and reliable energy?
