sorry...
Hodakaguy, why did you have the base fabricated when you could of got rigid panels? Was weight important to keep the pop top from being too heavy mostly?
now i find myself interested in this 315W panel for $310 locally... http://www.altestore.com/mmsolar/Others/SW315%20datasheet.pdf

that is a sweet setup! I wish i could copy it - but my roof isn't flat - see the large bump up front that flattens out about in the middle of the middle window.Just enough space to fit 2 (possibly three) flexible panels... :(
great write up from that link Diplo!!
