We don't have hurricanes here so I dunno about that. You can put as
many brackets on as you like to secure the rails the panels fix to. I
imagine it becomes pointless after a while, the roof is only of
limited strength anyway.

There are many fixing systems,depending on what sort of roof you
have. I went along to the seller's depot and checked them all out
before I agreed to the deal. I was worried about roof leaks.
