Flexible Solar Panel Recommendations

Update: our 100W flex panel from Rich Solar, 1.5 years old, is putting out only 25W in beautiful July sunshine at 1pm. They say it's "underproducing" and offered us 30% discount for a new one since its out of warranty. But... eh... just a one year warranty. The Renogy is a similar price with a 5 year warranty but I read online that Renogy service is poor...

5 year old 330w rigid panel still gets 300W+ on sunny days... just sayin.

I agree glass panels are way more robust. We still have our suitcase glass panel which is producing at least 90%. But it's 22 lbs and bulky. I really like the flex panel which fits perfectly against the window inside our camper, and weighs 5 lb. It takes just a minute to set it up. I prefer a portable panel instead of drilling holes in the roof, and the additional aerodynamic drag of roof stuff.

I have an Overland Solar 160W semi flexable that is 7 years old and still cranks out 155W. Maybe a bit overpriced but a good panel.
