I just had a ~10 month old flexible panel fail.
I mounted it on a home made aluminum frame, consisting of 1/8" thick bars and longer 1/8" thick C channels. 4 bars crossing the short side. C channels making the long side. Panel bolted through its grommets and also taped to the cross bars.
It flexes a bit.. I've not seen it while driving, but could imagine the wind constantly vibrating around w/in its range of flex..
But, I basically copied what everyone else here did for mounting their panels. I'm curious if others have had any problems.
Something did happen to it, though.. I wouldn't think this could break it, but the timing is correct.
My son has a 'stomp rocket'.. Toy air powered rocket. They're light. Have a soft foam tip. Are designed to hit children in the head w/out damaging them. But, he launched that thing up and it landed right on one of my flex panels. And it was after that I noticed I wasn't charging as much.
