Panel spacing-to gap or not to gap?
If you do see the sort of differences the page below mentions, a gap could be worthwhile. The panels would bow a little without any expansion room but enough to cause them damage?

Hi there, I have the following two questions if anyone has the answer. 1- Thermal expansion gap between panels: Installation usually calls for at least 3/8” between panels to allow for
How Do You Fill the Gaps Between Solar Panels? – AHODSOLAR
When looking at a solar panel array—whether on a rooftop or mounted on the ground—you may notice small spaces or gaps between the individual modules. These gaps are not
How Do You Fill the Gaps Between Solar Panels?-sic-solar
Small spaces between modules—typically a few centimeters wide—serve several functional purposes: Thermal expansion: Panels and racking components expand and contract
How to Calculate the Minimum Distance Between PV
In photovoltaic system design, the spacing between solar panels is a key factor that directly affects system performance, including light reception,
Shade Calculator
Knowing the minimum angle of incidence of sunlight during the year, it is possible to determine the distance between successive rows of photovoltaic panels. The
How to Calculate Solar Panel Row Spacing for Maximum Efficiency
When designing a solar installation, one of the most important design factors is solar panel row spacing. Proper spacing ensures each row of panels receives maximum sunlight and
Determining Module Inter-Row Spacing | Greentech Renewables
The difference between South going in either direction turns out to be 44º, and we will use this in the following formula to determine the Minimum Module Row Spacing!
What is the Gap Between Two Solar Panels?
What is the Gap Between Two Solar Panels: There should be around 4 to 7 inches of space between each row of panels.
