Can you walk on your solar panels?...Drive on them?
So, I saw this YouTube clip about SolarWorld panels .... maybe I need to re-think what Manufacturer I'm going to go with. Check it out! SUNMODULE SOLAR PANELS

I prefer to keep the rubber side down, and will not be driving on my solar panels. The reason? My panels have a clear covering that if scratched, then they will not be as transparent.
Some solar panels have more watts per square foot than other brands or materials. Some solar panels might be rated at say 100 watts, and will collect say 60 watts under diffused clouds. Others rated at 100 watts might collect 75 watts in the same conditions. I would rather have the smaller panel, even if it's performance under clouds is not quite as good. I figure that I can install about 600 watts of the higher watts per square foot panels in a area that might only hold 400 watts of the other panels.
And with the prices of panels falling to only around $1 per square foot, I will be installing more panels when I need them.
