I put 420 watts of panels on our bimini last year. I used Renogy flexible panels. Way too early to be able to tell you how long they will last but so far so good. I'm sure they won't go as long as rigid panels, so not expecting that. Being able to do a low profile mount rather than deal with building an arch was more important to us. I had to beef up the bimini by adding rigid struts in place of the straps. I also added fiberglass battens under the fabric and up over the center arch to keep the panels from hitting a hard spot at the point over the center arch. See pics below.To attach them, we used 3-m Dual Lock (part # SJ for the fabric side and SJ for the panel side from itapestore.com). The dual lock on the bimini fabric can be sewn in place with a decent machine. My wife did this and also added the pockets for the battens. The panels have been through 60 mph thunderstorm winds last season without issue.
