Flexible solar panels and rigid solar panels have the same function of generating electricity from the sunlight but they come to the table a bit differently. Flexible solar panels are thin, light, and bendable (flexible), while rigid solar panels are encased in glass (and, most often, have a metal frame). The lightweight and flexible solar panels are lightweight and thin, giving them a clear edge in the discussion of flexible solar panels vs. rigid. Heavy things are a nemesis for RVers – we like things that don’t increase the weight we’re carrying around. They can adjust to the contour of a curved roof or even to the front cap of a 5th wheel. They’re far more adaptable than rigid panels are.

Yes. As long as the specs match. If you have two different types of solar panels with the same voltage but different wattage, there is no problem with being wired in parallel.

We suggest not. Walking on solar panels will exert excessive pressure on a small area, it may cause cracks and damage to the panel.
