Portable solar panels

[vintage-knit9]

How do I keep these portable solar panels grounded? the wind where I am is turning them into kites! any suggestions you have in mind? I'll be happy to try them! thanks!

Adding a twist to tie-down straps helps keep them steady and reduces flapping in the wind

Use sandbags, tent stakes, or bungee cords with ground anchors to secure them, you can also attach them to a heavy frame or mount them on a weighted board

It all depends on what you have to work with. A concrete block will do wonders to keep the panels in place if you tie them right, but it's a concrete block, so it's not the most portable setup. I've seen some using those beach umbrella bases and fill them with water. They're light when empty, so it's not a massive drag to transport them.

Are you referring to an electrical ground or literally on the ground? Lol if you wanted to kill two birds with one stone you could drive a ground rod and rigidly fasten them all together and create your array by bonding them as a closed loop back to the rod. I’d imagine the portable part of this makes it less practical or economical. Other than that your environment would dictate your answer there. Either weight that’s not gonna impede your cells or finding a low spot in the terrain / propping up a physical barrier around them to cut the wind, either would be your best bet it’ll be less subjective to the wind. Good luck
