Last time I checked (several years ago) the "flexible" solar arrays were not nearly as efficient as the "hard" panels, and the warranty was not terribly long either (as compared to Siemens 25 years). They were even more expensive. All of this may have changed in the past four years. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Chris Mills Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 6:49 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Solar Panels
Curious if anyone is using any of the flexible solarcells which could be attached to the roof and never seen from the ground. Would not be affected by the wind, or thieves....
