RuggedFlex solar panels -- a significant new product??

It's about 5 times more expensive than traditional panels. It's about 3% to 5% less efficient than traditional panels. The warranty is only 5 or 10 years instead of 25 years like most traditional solar panels.
Those are some big drawbacks in my opinion. Less weight, yeah, that's good, especially mounted up high. I don't think I'll be buying any.
