[Electric Boats] Solar Panel Durability Question

 

Here's one for the gang:

Does anyone have any experience with using a conventional rigid (tempered
glass) solar panel on a planning boat? My concern is more about durability,
i.e., whether these panels are made to withstand the environmental
conditions such as vibration and shock from a high-powered gas boat (19
feet, 200 hp) blasting through open choppy waters on full plane. Are there
any modifications or other precautions which should be considered to prevent
the panels from possibly shattering? Any solar panel experts out there?
