How many degrees is the arc in the roof for flexible solar

This is the only post I could find that discussed the arc in the roof.

Great!  Having just permanently mounted two Renogy 100W flexible solar panels to my T@B clamshell, I come across this post.  I love it so far, but I guess I'm going to have to just wait and see what happens.  The bend is less than the 30 degrees they said they could accommodate.  I also used a permanent tape that I know is going to take the roof with it if I ever did try and get them off.

For both the front and rear curves, the width of the arc is just about 5x the height of the arc. That makes the angle defined by the arc ~87 degrees in both cases.

However, I'm not sure that's the information you are looking for. The "sharpness" of a curve depends on its radius rather than its angle; and to get that you'd need to take your tape measure out to the T@B.

I don't know what the "30 degrees" is referring to. Though not certain, I highly doubt you can bend any panel into that severe an angle!

Is Renogy back in the flexible panel business?  They took them down over a year or so ago.  I have not had any problems but am curious.

No - but there are plenty of others that are in, now, including Zamp. They are well under $200 for a 100w panel, now.
