Welcome to the forum
Also , do not be afraid of making mistakes and failure, some of the best lesson are learned from those.
Like this Solar panels that I hadn't gotten completely secured in the rack and "thought" it would be ok.
Even tho this is an older HF 15 watt solar panel, it was still working and I should've known to not leave it unsecured
.
A recorded 67mph wind gust took it out of the rack and bounced it against our solar dehydrator.
Live & learn.
