How does one protect the panels from high winds?
Can this be done by enclosing the panels in Plexiglas?

strong, im assumingNot to be funny, but what do you mean by "high"?
Living in Hurricane country, I keep having a mental image of my solar panels sailing away in the wind...I bought those panals from harbor freight. I took 2 pieces of .250 plexiglass and sandwiched the panels inbetween them. I ran a fat bead of silicone all around the panals and down the middle before I put the plexi on. I also put little aluminum angle on the corners of the plexi. These things are pretty much tough as I can get em. Theres no doubt in my mind they could survive a rock thrown from the mower. Hope this helps you out.:thumb:
What are you using your panals for Hanklet0? After Ike, I think most of us would be worried about wind damage.I bought those panals from harbor freight.
