Lensum solar panel failure

[mattonthesea]

I have had two flexible 80W solar panels from Lensum. Both have failed after about three years of use. The second one we treated with kid gloves.

Is this a common issue or am I just unlucky?

Same happened to me with a Lensun semiflexible about 2.5 years before it delaminated,now have the rigid panels.

Only got a 30 watt panel but it's now about 5/6 years old and still going. It's the type with an aluminium backing sheet rather than the plastic one.
