Thin film/flexible solar panels

[Thespoon]

Hi all
has anybody glued any thin film/flexible solar panels direct to a composite panel roof? If so…..any problems with the heat this panels generate that possibly could delaminate the outer fibreglass layer from the core?
They are not Unisolar panels, they are 100w monocrystaline panels as commonly sold now on Ebay with a aluminium sheet backing and made in China.

I've got a Unisolar pvl 68 on my fiberglass conversion van roof.

I only have 1/2 inch of added foam board insulation in between the OSB sandwiched "stringers".

No delam issues. While bendable, they do not stretch or compress, and there is a kink where it bridges the crown of my roof, So Imagining it will lay perfectly flat on a curved surface might be fool hardy.

The ceiling gets warmer under the panel, but not enough to melt the surfboard wax an inch away

Good question!

Global Solar has a thin/flexible panel, maybe they can answer any questions you might have.
