Whereas the rigid have a 25+ year life and less problems in the first 5 years. Also it Looks like the name brands have better reviews (but cost a little more).
But that link you show looks like an excellent value and good reviews..... 
It sure would be nice to just tape down the panels and move on. I been struggling with this decision for months now.....I guess I just need to pull the trigger on something and not look back? |
Well, Long & Winding (and others) has talked me into Solid vs Flex panels
Ready to pull the trigger on...
- 2 Renogy 100 watt solid monocrystalline panels
- 2 sets of Renogy Drill-Free mounts
- Sikaflex adhesive
- and a 30 amp controller
All for under $300 (plus wire & connectors)
I’ll probably just go with a PWM controller for now
If I upgrade to 6 volt AGM sealed batteries in the future, I’ll spring for an MPPT controller at that time.
Thanks for the Forum.
