That's a big ask. In a hurricane you'd better remove all the panels. If you remove the side panels, leaving the top panels in a hurricane it will need to be built like a tank. That top will be like a plane wing ready for takeoff.
The poly covered option will be way cheaper and way easier to remove the covering in summer.
I love the Solarig and Palring materials. They last 10 years plus in our intense sun and in place all year long.

In place over winter in FL they'd last a long time if well cared for. That is protect from sun damage on or off. Only one side is UV protected on poly or panels. They all need proper care.
