Hi. Sorry to bring the subject of solar panels up yet again!
Is there any real difference between the various amorphous, flexible panels on the market (either now or within the last few years), for example the 32W variants that seem to be for sale in a lot of places under various names? For example, the Spectraflex 32W that Seateach sells states that it does not "degrade rapidly soon after deployment" like some others, so does that mean that it's actually better than, for example, a Solar Trader 32W panel (which I have found for £25 less!)?
I have pretty much decided on buying amorphous panels due to both their shade tolerance and lack of glass (I've previously had a Kyocera panel shatter for no apparent reason... eventually concluded that it must have been a bird-related accident!), but I would like to hope that I will still be pleased with the output in 3-5+ years time.
Thank you!
