Rollable/stowable Solar Panels

Anyone have any preferences/experiences as far as rollable/stowable solar panels go? Any thoughts on durability? I'm thinking of constructing a bimini/shade cover that's mainly composed of solar panels and easily stowed. It would be primarily for use on the hook. My alternator should be able to fulfill power requirements when underway (coastal cruising with plenty of time in the ditch); although I would probably make the panels detatchable so a few could be lashed down on deck underway where they wouldn't cause too much windage or noise.

Thoughts?
