The counter-argument is heat: bonded flat, a flexible panel runs hotter than a bracket-mounted one, and heat is what shortens its life. If the roof is flat enough to take brackets, rigid panels will outlast this comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitting a 1.6m sheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong flexible panels are awkward to handle and easy to crease — a crease is a cracked cell. Lay it out, dry-fit it, and have a second pair of hands. Bond with an adhesive rated for the roof material and the temperature swing, and leave airflow underneath wherever the roof profile allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the roof properly: 1605mm is longer than many people expect, and it needs to clear vents, bars and the gutter line. Junction box is IP68 and connectors IP67, so the panel itself copes with British weather — the adhesive joint is the part that needs care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51358098325671,"sku":"RSP200DB-72-ROA-UK","price":169.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1158\/3143\/files\/RSP200DB-72-UK_4e45d013-6b2f-466b-93ce-f6cd87765e6c.jpg?v=1789800874","url":"https:\/\/shop.roamwired.com\/products\/renogy-200-watt-12-volt-flexible-monocrystalline-solar-panel","provider":"Roam Wired Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
