<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Dana,</div><div><br></div>For these types of applications, which make up a lot of our business, we typically point customers to Solbian, who use Sunpower and other cells. I believe our more budget-minded customers have also been happy with the Renogy flex panels.<div><br><div>Merlin Solar makes the best interconnect technology I've seen for semi-flexible panels: thin grids that cover the cells and keep things working even if the cell is shattered. I believe they do mostly B2B, but I know at least some of Solbian's panels incorporate their technology. </div><div><br></div><div>If your customer does want to consider some framed glass panels, stick to the smaller sizes (100-160W) to reduce issues with frame flex (both the vehicle's and the panel's!). </div><div><br></div><div>I do share your skepticism about the flex panels... While I might go flex next time for the weight savings, I have 2x 100W glass panels on my camper van, installed by the previous owner. After 7 years and 70,000 miles, many off-road, they are doing great.</div><div><br></div><div>Out of curiosity, do you know what brand your customer's panels were and how long before they gave out?</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_4016542872219606860gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Alex MeVay<br><br>Blue Sky Energy *
