This is correct. I am from the Philippines, we have only two types of seasons, sunny and rainy.

But we also have several wind farms operating since early 2000s.

There's a buried third in there: "typhoon season"[1].

I do wonder how they intend to both lean into and protect such a massive, fragile investment when all it'll take is the debris from a single tropical storm to wreck some serious infrastructure carnage, let alone a full-blown super typhoon.

PV panels will be protected the same way as buildings. Not much difference there. If you can build a house, you can build a PV-farm.
Im not aware of any houses with flat structures sticking over the roof being successfully protected from hurricanes.
