Does vibration affect solar panels?


Question:
if you move a solar panel or there was a vibration that caused the panel to move, would that affect it?

Answer:
clearly. if the panel is moved, its action will be distorted. it should be kept in a level, stable location to reduce likelihood of such events occuring.
probably not much. If you had it at an optimal angle to the sun and it vibrated out of that position then you could be loosing some efficiency.
No. I've got one on top of my RV and taking it down the road at 70mph doesn't hurt it at all.
