[RE-wrenches] Semi flexible modules

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Hi Jay,

We sold/installed flexible modules from various manufacturers for about 5 years. When permanently installed, most have a fast degradation of the PET encapsulate leading to blotching, peeling, cracking and pitting. The weight savings is significant and may be worth using for some as long as you don’t expect the longevity of a framed, glass module. Customers using them occasionally as a portable module are experiencing long life.

Hi all,
Especially those that do RV,

Any recommendations as to semi flexible modules?  I find sun power brand, but many others saying “sun power cells”. 
Prices are of course all over the map. 

I am asking because a usual offgrid client bought a camper wants solar installed and the semi flexible modules seem like a better solution than framed. Lighter weight, non glass, less to break, etc

If anyone has anything to share I’d like to hear about

Thanks

Jay
