Your results may vary. Saw that my recent panel purchase caused Amazon to lower the price (funny how THAT works!) so I went ahead and bought a second 80W panel. I am confident that 160W will be excessively adequate for my current and future needs!

After having them in two coaches now, I can say they do not generate any heat that is noticeable in the coach.
I have put my hand in the ceiling where the panels are installed and I can’t tell much of a difference in heat in the dealing.
I actually think the glass and metal panels generate more heat and why you need a sizable gap underneath them to allow the heat to dissipate.
