Wait, you used double sided tape?! You are kidding, right?
That stuff is used to attach emblems etc, not solar panels on small feet, panels that can act as wings in certain circumstances once driving wind gets under and over the surface. With the frame around the panels you can create uplift much like the wing on an aircraft.
If one of those flies off and cuts through a windshield of a vehicle behind you, or a biker goes down by running over your panels laying on the highway, you will be held liable. Somebody getting killed or injured can sue you for everything you own.
Do it right and bolt them down.
PS: I used to work in aviation on S-76, Jet and Long Rangers, Engineering degree and all. What you did would never fly with the FAA.
