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 1

No.  I've got one on top of my RV and taking it down the road at 70mph doesn't hurt it at all.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
