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.
1 Pull over to the side of the road (provided it's safe to do so) to reduce the hail's impact on your vehicle if you can't find a covered area to park.  If you drive a truck or a car with a large trunk, consider carrying around a car cover (or even blankets you could easily secure) to minimize damage.
