" ...  I opted for the durability of the panel over the flexible type as they do not seem to have the longevity plus I did not want it flexing in the wind or require me to build a support for it to be able to aim it at the sun as I please. ... So far love the panel I got, a little heavy and thick, but if it keeps working like it is, I'll be happy.  ...  "
