If you did test it, I'm sure this would be helpful to others because I will be unable to test mine (travelling) until next month. I have indeed seen what it looks like—here's a video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1glfC52wmg" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1glfC52wmg</a></div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I guess the size could make it a bit awkward, but not impossible, to put at an optimum angle. It looks like they are simply cheap because the manufacturer went bankrupt and liquidated, so (fingers crossed) that should mean only good news for us!</div>

That's an astounding deal on the Uni-solar 136 watt rollable panel! [ <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNISOLAR-PVL-136-Watt-No-PeelNstick-SOLAR-PANEL-UNI-SOLAR-PVL136-PANELS-144-128-/230993292685?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160">http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNISOLAR-PVL-136-Watt-No-PeelNstick-SOLAR-PANEL-UNI-SOLAR-PVL136-PANELS-144-128-/230993292685?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160</a> ] I<br>
may jump on that tonight to test along with you all. This item does<br>
need a junction box and some soldering, and did you realize this roll<br>
is 15.5" skinny and 18 FEET LONG? The next children's library that my<br>
NGO in Zambia is building will be off grid. I have a reliable and<br>
cheap way to ship a rolled panel like this, but I'm trying to imagine<br>
what a temporary support rig (say for a period of 2-4 weeks to field<br>
test) for this would be like.<br>
<br>
I'll let you all know if I order.<div><div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br><br></div></div></div>
