I don't know how much heat can be transferred thru the rubber roof or how the panels will be affected
but I read some specs that said full output with surface temps of 180*F
and a you tube video where a man tested one by laying it on his padio deck in the sun and had full output into his battery
Hmmm. Maybe they accomplish this in their increased area/wattage design.
I'm pretty certain that the rig would heat up more, though. There is really nowhere else for the heat to conduct.
my problem has been to find more unisolar panels so I would have matching voltages and charging characteristics
I do not feel like removing everything and starting over with higher wattage higher voltage panels and new controller
Well, and I think these mats may have the standard, Uni-solar, multi-diode, low light/shade benefit too, yes?
