Joel, When the panels heat up they become less and less efficient. That's the reason for controlling their heat if possible. If mounting on a fabric such as a Bimini I can't imagine that adding a coroplast backing would change the temperature very much since the fabric is already pretty thin. On the other hand if you were planning on mounting the panels to a hard surface then yes I believe there would be reason enough to add the backing. On my hard dodger installation I use adhesive felt pads. Now I wish I had though about coroplast. That's a great idea.
