Last time I checked (several years ago) the "flexible" solar arrays were
not nearly as efficient as the "hard" panels, and the warranty was not
terribly long either (as compared to Siemens 25 years). They were even
more expensive.

All of this may have changed in the past four years.

Curious if anyone is using any of the flexible solarcells which could be
attached to the roof and never seen from the ground.

Would not be affected by the wind, or thieves....
