Roof-load fit for manufactured homes
Rigid glass-and-aluminum modules add roughly 3.3–4 psf installed. On a manufactured roof (often only 10–15 psf dead-load capacity) this is best mounted on a ground rack, carport, or accessory structure rather than the home's roof.
How a rigid module's weight stacks up against lightweight flexible panels — the key roof-load factor:
Pros & cons
👍 Pros
- Budget-friendly price

Choose this panel if your priority is standard polycrystalline off-grid. As a rigid module, it delivers the most watts per dollar when mounted on a ground rack, carport, or accessory structure rather than the home's thin roof deck.
