I think it's still an option for solar. The wafers/cells in these panels are the same as they use in the rigid units. I am still skeptical of the heat argument. The conditions on a hot roof in Arizona have to be much worse. Unfortunately I can't take the panel apart to see what went wrong. I suspect bad tabbing between cells caused a hot shot. I wil keep the experiment going and continue to share what I learn.
