It’s a known fact that flex panels are much
less durable than solid.
Flex panels generate more heat becuz there’s no “airspace” under the panel for cooling
Also, the warranty on flex panels is generally 5yrs vs solid at 25yrs.
Flex panels are more expensive too.
But, for many on this Forum, flex panels are a great way to go.
EZ install, EZ replacement if/when they do fail, very light-weight.
And with Eternabond tape...no holes drilled in the roof.
Disclaimer...I have solid panels with drill-less mounts on my rig.
