The littlest thing matters. The ends of 3 panels were bolted down, and I knew I needed to bolt and hold down the middle part but procastinated. For 2 years, the solar panels and all were great but every once in a while I hear a bump on top because the middle part wasn't bolted down. We took a trip to death valley with 60-70MPH wind and the panel flipped upwards. I tried to bungie cord the panels as I was exiting Death Valley so I could work on it but unfortunately that made things worse and two panels got cracked and twisted. I ordered two more and made four brackets to bolt down the middle holding the panel. All good again.

Below is pictures of 2 brackets in the middle holding the panel after the mishap at Death Valley.
