As for vibrations on it, we will see. I can always clad the outer frame to deflect wind away from the ones frame.

Not really worried about the tower itself as it doesn't present a big surface area to the wind but your box at the top will. Just thinking of keeping the center of gravity of the whole build as low as possible. If your solar panel frame was enough to move with no panels on it must be blowing a gale out there. Imagine with panels.
