Best Flexible Solar Panels

For curved roofs with vents, racks or antennas that shade part of the panel during the day. With clear sun on an open roof, Renogy’s standard 100 W flexible panel costs less.

A low-profile 100 W panel for curved or weight-limited van, RV and boat roofs, especially where an all-black look matters. On a flat roof that can take the weight, a rigid panel lasts longer for less money.

The default pick for a stealthy 100 W on a curved van, RV or boat roof where a framed panel will not fit. If the roof is flat and can take the weight, a rigid panel lasts longer for less money.

For tightly curved or irregular surfaces such as boat biminis and teardrop roofs, where silicon flexible panels would crack. On a gently curved roof, a silicon flexible panel gives more watts per dollar.

For a large curved RV or boat roof that needs 200 W from one light panel. Check the power station or controller input voltage first; low-voltage inputs suit a 12 V-class panel better.

For a long curved RV, trailer or boat roof that can fit one large sheet. Split the wattage across two smaller panels if vents or hatches break up the space.
