I'm just concerned with so much surface area and potential 100+ mph winds. I will say that out of all the reading I've done, no one has had a panel fly off when attached by screws, but I'm concerned about the panel that will be mounted side wise (?) at the very front. Seems like it will be a potential kite with a 72" wingspan.
If I'm wrong, that would be great!
Yeah, I know exactly what you are saying. I went over-board when I installed my panels. Made my own mounting brackets and all. I've seen panels installed with just 4 screws and as far as I know have never heard of anyone's panels taking flight. It's possible I guess so that's why I went crazy with multiple screws. Do what helps you sleep better!
