200 W flexible solar panel
How practical do you find a 200 W flexible solar panel for mobile or off-grid use—do you install it on curved surfaces like van roofs or boats for convenience, or do you prefer traditional panels for higher efficiency and longevity?

The newer 200w flexible solar panel models surprised me — they’re sturdier than the old versions and can handle light bending without cracking. I’ve used mine on a small boat roof; it powers a battery, navigation light, and even a small cooler. The biggest factor is placement — avoid shaded spots and keep the surface clean. Overheating can reduce output, so leaving a tiny air gap beneath helps a lot. It’s a solid upgrade if you want reliable mid-range solar.
