Half the price of the semi flexible Lensun 100W panel I was looking at.
Seems like it might be a nice fit with an R-pod roof.

18 feet long.

I don't know near enough about what charge controller or battery setup would be needed to make this work, much less inverter?

It just seems like it might have a lot of potential. Both permanently mounted and loose in a roll that could be laid out on the back side of the trailer. Over the R-dome?

I'm just scratching the surface on this solar stuff.
Just curious as heck, hoping someone has answers.

Sorry about the bad link, fixed I think.

Link was HTTPS and insert hyperlink defaults to HTTp. My bad.

These are old discontinued panels. Why discontinued? Because of overheating and inefficient output.

There must have been thousands of them left in warehouses. They resurface every once in a while on Amazon and EBay.
