Flexible vs Rigid Solar Panels for RVs: Pros, Cons & Best Uses

Comparison of the durability of flexible and rigid solar panels with a degradation curve over 10 years

flexible solar panels promise easy installation and curved-roof compatibility, but they sacrifice efficiency and lifespan compared to rigid panels. After testing both types through multiple seasons, we’ve documented actual power output differences, heat-related degradation, and long-term durability. Flexible panels suit specific scenarios temporary setups, unusual roof curves while rigid panels deliver superior performance for permanent … Read more
