has anyone tried these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/128-watt-Fle...item3f1436ef74 I thought they would be great for an off grid setup, at least for a steel roof. Thinking about putting a couple on top of the camper to see how they work out.

These panels were designed for standing seem metal roofs. Couple negatives to this panel, large foot print for wattage output compared to a framed panel, somewhat permanent install. A friend has installed these on RV's for customers, they ain't coming off easily. Advantages to these panels, heat does not affect the output as much as most framed panels, not as many penetration points on the roof.

Thanks, I thought they might hold up a little better in hail or wind storms being flexible and prm adhered
