flexible panels

[bigjon]

Hi Everyone building my first a portable emergency solar power and small daily power use. are flexible panels worth buying life expectancy ? Ebay has a ton of them listed.

Opinions vary greatly. But, in my personal experience, they are not known for longevity.

We keep watching and hoping but NOPE.

Ordered this about 2 months ago, they're much more durable than I thought, I put them on the roof top of my house and what surprise me is that you can even step on it. Later I figured out it wasn't made out of glass hence it will not break. Too early to tell if it can last for years, but I'm sure it's more durable than others.

Generally lower efficiency, higher cost, and over-promised, unfortunately.
