Heat dissapation is the biggest reason that I stayed away from the flex panels. As you say, "good contract with the TM roof for heat dissipation" seems to mean that the TM roof would get hotter. Do you notice any heat transferring into the interior?

I have a couple more 100W glass panels to put on my TM but (like you said) the weight concern is a big issue. We're going camping soon so I'll put the panels that I have to the test. I had an 800W array on my motorhome and an 800AH battery bank. I ran a 22cu ft 110V home refrigerator. Weight wasn't an issue on that thing though.
