Are Flexible Solar Panels a bad idea
I would like to add 100 to 200 watts solar to my 195RB. I would prefer to use flexible for several reasons but wondered if the bad reviews are overwhelming the simpler install and lack of wind resistance, etc.
My specific questions are:
Will the heat generated by a black panel hurt the rubber roof?
Is the failure rate of the name brands of flexible panels really that bad?
Primary use will to keep the battery charged in storage and topped up during travel. We do not bushwhack but occasional overnights on the road are made and we might try the bushwhack in the future. A small reduction in efficiency vs. regular panels is not a problem.
