Thanks for all the info guys. Did not know about the high failure rate on the panels. Good to know for sure

Here was my thinking.. I am building a light weight self contained truck camper and am trying to incorporate as many aero features as possible.The project is just for fun really and does not need to make any economic sense whatsoever . I already have the small honda gen but just wanted to add the solar option so we can camp in more places.

I noticed these panels are now much cheaper than in the past so I thought I would mention it. That was my main point in the original post but I guess it it came across differently. I agree they certainly would not suit everyone for sure.

Your absolutely right . More suited to an rv in certain cases than a car. I will change first post to reflect that.
