2 different parties that I know opted for this type of solar and after a year's use have discontinued their use, opting to return to the standard glass surfaced panels.
Why?
I'm very curious also... why? Is there something I should know? I mean, I'm recommending this setup to others I know, so if there's something up with them I'd take it as very good advice.
I read quite a few reviews on the stick on panels (these are the ones from the now defunct UniSolar, right?) and I did not really see any big negatives. The only thing that concerned me was the extra heat that might be transmitted through the roof to the inside of where the panels are mounted (not really an issue on your trailer though, right?). Having glass panels with some air gap might make for a cooler roof if they were mounted on your living space roof.
I have read that the stick on panels actually work better in low light and partial shading than traditional glass crystalline panels.
