It's been over a year now with the solar panels exposed to the elements the whole time (in San Jose,CA) and they seem to be doing fine. The panels have sagged a little so I would recommend either putting supports under the panel or to put aluminum strips around the edges to give it more rigidity. But other than that it's doing very nicely and seems to be generating near as much power as it did when I first installed them.

You can see the wiring that is above the fridge in this video : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hp-Xm9Wh1a2ogGQ.html

@@joshseal2000 oh nice. I’m in the EastBay ! I’m thinking of these panels, but questioning Flex panels. These seem to be the best quality. Can you do an output video ? Showing the amps it’s bringing in ? Thanks for your time, Peacefrom510 .
