TM offers an 80 watt. I see some on the forum with 160 watts. Do you need more than 80? Also, I've seen flexible ones and rigid ones on RV sites. Pros/Cons? Do you need a tilt frame for the rigid ones?

Thanks

They work better out west than on the east coast, you need about 4 hours of full sun to get the best performance.
