The invention provides a damper, a rotatable photovoltaic panel assembly, and a related method for reducing vibration. The damper includes a housing having proximal and distal ends, a first attachmentpoint proximate the distal end of the housing, a rod having proximal and distal ends at least partially disposed within the housing and moveable relative to the housing between an extended position and a compressed position, a second attachment point proximate the proximal end of the rod, a piston joined to the rod within the housing proximate the distal end of the rod, the piston including a bypass groove having a flow area defined therein to allow fluid to flow from a first side of the piston to an opposing side of the piston, and a first washer disposed proximate a first end of the pistonand at least partially covering the flow area of the bypass groove. 本发明提供了阻尼器、可旋转光伏面板组件及相关减少振动的方法。该阻尼器包括：壳体，具有近端和远端；第附接点，接近壳体的远端；杆，具有近端和远端，该杆至少部分地设置在所述壳体内并且能够相对于所述壳体在延伸位置和压缩位置之间移动；第二附接点，接近杆的近端；活塞，在壳体内联接到该杆并接近杆的远端，该活塞包括旁通槽，该旁通槽
