Don's panels from Northern Tool look like
ICP Solar units, which are commonly sold in packages branded by Coleman and others. They are commonly used on RVs. I would expect them to withstand most weather conditions (including moderate hail), since they are intended to be permanently mounted.
I like going to the original source for product information, such as the
Go Power! DURAlite site (from
Carmanah Technologies Corporation). I'm guessing from this remark...
Unlike permanent solar options installed on RVs and boats, DURAlite Solar Chargers can be put out in the sun to charge a battery and then stored for later use
... that they might not withstand continuous outdoor mounting. The flexibility would be nice to follow the curve of a classic teardrop roof mounting. I don't know where the term "hard" in the original post's description comes from - I do not believe that these are rigid panels.
The Go Power description says...
They offer almost double the power of conventional thin-film solar panels,
... but I don't know what they are comparing to. The rated output per unit area is only 23% higher than ICP Solar's very common SE-1200 (which ICP rates at the same 1.2A and 15V working condition as the DURAlite GPDL20).
The DURAlites should also be light... but since the maker doesn't light the weight, that's only a guess.
The Alternative Energy Store "sale" price is quite high for an amorphous panel of this output.
