Portable panels get old real fast. They're big and heavy.

Picture needing to continually move a 4'x8'x3/4" sheet of plywood around.. Bulky, heavy, not easy to move, setup, take down then deal with winds knocking it over..
While individual panels may be smaller than a sheet of plywood, they are often pretty large (IE 100W panels are often 2'x4')and you most likely will end up with multiple panels to deal with.
Stick it on the roof and pretty much forget about them and rarely ever have to fuss with them. One and done.
Thank you G and oldman. Very good points about the weight/clumsiness and I'm not getting any younger. I hadn't considered their weight, or at least didn't realize they were that heavy and adding to that building suitable stands to add to that weight.
Thank you!
