Why not use flexible solar panels-- seems like this would be the best option for RV roofs that are generally too flimsy to mount hard panels. Keep mind that the wind force on the panels can equal a hurricane in force while traveling.
Here is one example that would be preferable to solid panels IMHO

10 year warranty vs 25 was my reason. And yeah, I mentioned the wind in a previous post.
Warranty is a manufacturer dependent item. Also warranty is largely a function of the manufacturer staying in business that long. I don't know of many companies that stay are in business after 25 years. Even 10 years is a long time in the solar industry for a company to remain in business. Therefore I consider the convenience and efficiency of flexible panels to be the deciding factor.
