Adhesive for Securing Flexible Solar Panels

Have plans to install some flexible solar panels on the roof of our fiberglass NL truck camper. Don't want to drill/screw into the roof. Looking for a strong adhesive that can also be removed without damaging the fiberglass finish in the event I have to replace/remove a panel. Recommendations? Thanks!

That's the biggest issue to me regarding surface mounted panels...the heat they transfer to the RV. Makes a big difference. And why I don't use them.

Yup, those things get hot. A friend surface mounted a couple and they got so hot, it ruined the fiberglass roof underneath

Be aware of how hot those things get before attaching directly to the roof.
