Re: [Electric Boats] Mount flexible solar panels by the eyelets only?

 

Thanks for your suggestions Mike and Kevin!
Square tubes might make the panels a bit bulky when folded, but I guess your right that they give better stiffnes than a plate..
I might just try to mount the panels without any extra stiffening frame and see how that works. If it turns out that they start moving or vibrating to much I should make a frame of some sort...

Thanks for the feedbacks Hannu and Mike!
I guess I should glue a sheet/plate of aluminium on each of the panels to make them stiffer.

No.

No experience with panels specifically, but nothing that size will last while vibrating in the wind.
They are just too thin to last, without a substrate or backing of some kind.

I have no experience with flexible solar panels, but many of you do - what is your opinions/experiences: are flexible panels durable enough to be mounted by the eyelets only?
