They were very durable. A few years ago an RV customer had a US64 propped up on
the back bumper. They forgot about it and backed up the motorhome to
reposition, driving all 30,000 pounds over the module. Flattened and covered
with deep rock dents and a puncture, it still works well.

We had bought these several years ago for sailboat projects. We just
used the remaining ones on our oyster farm. They have worked very well.

The discontinued Unisolar US64 did not have any glass on the face.
A great product, a shame they stopped manufacture.

My mistake, I just found a spec sheet on the Unisolar 64, and it
specifically advertises "No glass" and "unbreakable". I worked on
systems with them before, but never sold them, so I assumed the
textured top surface was tempered glass all these years.
Many pardons,

I'm looking to install a 10-20 kW system on a roof that's going to be
getting falling foul balls from a nearby baseball field.
The roof is not appropriate for any of the Uni-Solar peel-n-stick products.
Any recommendations for anything else out there that does not have a glass
