Personally still have not found anything that beats a fold out (moveable panel, relocated thru out the day) with a quality controller for harvest yield. :Y:

A 135 W fixed is approx 8 kg, a 140 W folding is 11.6 kg. Most folding panels come with a PWM controller and need a bypass, which I wouldn't use anyway. I've looked at a particular brand and the folding is twice the price.
I can't see 3.6 kg in hardware weight for legs, so I think I can do it in Ally for less weight.
Transport not an issue as whatever I get can go in the van until deployed. Although a similar size flexible is only 2kg, it would need more support to act as a standalone. Plus. I can't get past the 5 year (max I've found) warranty of flexible compared to 10/25 for a fixed I can use as a portable.
