[RE-wrenches] Renogy 100W Bendable Mono Module?

[Dave]

Wrenches,

 

Does anyone have any experience, or thoughts, with/on this company/product? 

 

It was recently brought to my attention. A 100W monocrystalline cell
bendable (to 30 degrees) module. Sounds counter intuitive to have mono cell
and bendable in the same module to me. My son is thinking of using it for
dry camping with his pickup truck. His small system would have 1 VRLA
battery w CC and this panel temporarily lying on the roof of his camper
shell. 

 

Worth a try for $200?

 

<< The Renogy bendable solar panel uses advanced technology backed by
contact Sunpower Monocrystalline solar cells that have been laminated into a
flexible plastic sheet. The result is a solar panel that is far more durable
than traditional glass and aluminum models, with twice the efficiency
(approx. 20%) of flexible thin film solar panels. With these advanced solar
cells, you will get greater power efficiency even though the panel is no
larger than a traditional model. The plastic back sheet can be curved to a
maximum 30 degree arc and mounted on an RV, boat, cabin, tent, or any other
irregular surface. The flexibility of this panel also makes it ideal for
storage in tight spaces or crowded areas that are typically off limits for
traditional glass and aluminum models. While this solar panel packs 100W of
power, it only weighs a mere 3lbs, making it easier to transport, hang, and
remove. The laminate coating on the exterior of the panel makes it
impervious to saltwater splashing, rain, and other weather elements. While
this panel may be damaged by sharp objects or scraping, there is no risk of
shattering or cracking.
