I'm all for taking climate change seriously, but here it seems rather easy to "adapt" to the new conditions: So future solar farms need even stronger mechanical protection of the light-receiving surfaces: If there is some magical high-tech material that would withstand those forces while still being sufficiently transparent in normal operation, that could be used. Otherwise, the solution seems relatively low tech for me: install some way to protect the panels during storms - e.g. by some kind of durable "blind" that can be closed in bad weather or by making the panels able to turn 180° and flip the light sensitive surface towards the ground.
