Hi, I would like to know all about flexible solar panels. There is an application I have in mind where by I need to know what sizes they come in and what ratings they have. I also need to know their strength especially tensile. They will be in the wind and I need to know if they will hold up.
I saw the Unisolar panel # R28 that was rated at 144 watts at 24 volts. Is it flexible enough to roll up and can it suport much weight on its own? I did not see dimentions for the panel what is its length width and thickness. I would also need to know its weight.

You can roll the Unisolar modules. Once rolled, the diameter is about 16 inches. There are also two installation guidelines:
There are couple of companies who are manufacturing specialized mounting systems for Unisolar PVLs.
