I mean if you placed two blocks for foot of array and head of array (per support) and ran tie-down cables, the cable might pull at an angle and drag the block without having to dead-lift it, allowing collapse. If the blocks were joined into a rigid structure, then it would have to lift the upwind block into the air, pivoting over far end of downwind block. Like a ladder collapsing if not locked in position, vs. having to go up to tip over.
A single pipe would be sufficient to keep one block from sliding toward the other. A truss structure would be required to make it strong enough that block actually has to lift for structure to fall over.
If you have a way to convert wind into horizontal and uplift force, the rest is simple mechanics.
