DIY 700W solar install.
I just bought 10 102W First Solar series4 thin film panels ($550) but only have room for 7 along drivers side of my roof. May add the other 3 to passenger side if getting by them is not to much of a p...

I have added a 2x8 PT triangle in front of the first panel so air cannot get under them although the front cap is 10” higher than the roof...same height as the raised rails along each side of the roof.
Dick,
How an Airplane flies;
The popular explanation of lift. Students of physics and aerodynamics are taught that airplanes fly as a result of Bernoulli's principle, which says that if air speeds up the pressure is lowered. Thus a wing generates lift because the air goes faster over the top creating a region of low pressure, and thus lift.
So with no air under the Panels, they will Lift, until they are in Ballance, so the air not getting under will cause them to Lift or Fly.
That's how airplanes fly - as will the Solar Panels if not attached solidly.
Not trying to be a Smart a*s - Don't ask me how I know this is true. :)
JMHO,
