100 watt flex able solar panels

[QUOTE=jen b;443028]Wouldn't something like that attached down with bungees act a little like a sail?

I guess that could be but I think I would lay mine down flat of the roof. Maybe you could put two together and put them on a flag pole...

Interesting. What is the the backing material? Is there anything covering the solar cels? Like a clear plastic?

Who makes these?

[ShawnKK]

The backing is plastic as I understand

[David Tilston]

I have to guess that these, if mono, or poly crystalline, would be kinda delicate. I could see using these glued to the curved surface of the trolly roof on several brands of trailer. One would fit on the rock guard on a Trillium. Probably four on the roof itself, maybe three.That would work.

Be nice to know the cost.

[ShawnKK]

200 dollars each but I am trying work the cost down

[David Tilston]

Not bad, might be a good idea to try for a group buy. Prepaid, of course.

[ShawnKK]

I'm one step ahead of you,lol. Stay tune!
But how many others would want to be in on this?

[David Tilston]

Come on now. Doesn't everyone want solar? With 100 W you could run your fridge. With 500 W, you could run a small air conditioner.

I do but $200 for 100 watts sounds a little steep by todays pricing even though it does have the cool design factor.

Do you have an air conditioner on your roof? Because it looks like you could fit two of the 68W panels up there if you didn't have the AC unit in the way.

Also, UniSolar went out of business in 2012. It looks like a few dealers still have them in stock, so if anyone wants one, you'd better hurry.
