I don't know about the foil tape strips and the effects of basically "capacitance" on the aero effects of panels. But I have seen these foil stickers on autos, and airplanes over the years. Though I'm not educated in the field enough to know any science behind them. I've also seen them on large yachts. But I believe they are on boats for a different purpose.
I see a bunch of internet searching in my future to figure this one out!
