Just to give you a idea.  I have three 160 watt Overland Solar panels on my flatbed hawk.  They are on a custom aluminum frame. 

 

The leading edge I added a air dam made out of poly material to prevent air from going under the panels and causing oscillation while driving.  

 

Picture attached.

ATC still uses the one piece ribbed style roof they've always used.

 

Hmmm- my 2018 Panther has a seam down the middle, pretty much the same as the 99 Grandby I sold.

The roof sheet is manufactured from two pieces. The center seam is pressed together at the factory and is permanently sealed. The more rigid one piece roof sheet is then shipped to the camper builder flat.
