Fixed solar upgrade. Flexi or rigid?

Looks great. I've done very similar, but my panel has a silver frame which clashes with the black theme. I like those dakine pads.
I can't see the wires in the pic though.
 
How tough are the rigid panels? Are they all glass with an aluminium frame or are there variations with some more robust?

I ask because I ordered a Renogy 200W rigid type to put on my rhino roof rack but it came with shattered glass despite the packaging being fine. I got a refund but not sure if I should get another as if it broke in the post it's probably not going to last long on my van.

Go for a 175w Perlight Panel from Bimble Solar.

Thicker frame and much better quality panel all round. Comes with a 30 year parts and performance Warranty. This is the panel I use on all professional installations.
