I was actually just reading about those panels a while back. Some issues with a trailer/tiny house that is to remain mobile are weight and what to do with all that heat. I would definitely consider them for a stationary setup, though.

The summer heat got into full swing last week. The AC ran all day and was still slowly losing ground. I added Reflectix to a couple more windows and redid the cover for the skylight in the shower and it seems to have helped a bit. The only two windows that aren't covered are the ones on either side of the bedroom. Hoping I can do without covering them, I want at least a little natural light. Haven't gotten to anything else as I was on vacation for a couple weeks.
