If I'm not mistaken that was a flexible panel or amorphous.
They R usually just peel and stick on.
They do not have the output capacity of a glass monocrystalline panel, about 20-25% which is why they can not fully charge a battery bank, for a trickle charge they work fine.
the lithium batteries will hold more power but as discussed they R not yet cost effective.
We were going to build a cart with a set but saw no viable market, the auto industry is pouring tons of money in development and soon we may see the costs drop.
