Whisked off into space by what, exactly?
Solar wind
Solar wind is not going to just yeet stuff around like that. It'll have some sort of impact, but it's not like, you know, actual wind.
For something that is positioned at L1 for an indefinite amount of time, with a large enough area to be effective as a solar shroud, it'll definitely have an impact.
That kind of shroud is effectively a solar sail without the ship attached.
