Velcro solar panel to roof?

[Kyle Martin]

Because I might want to move my solar panel from the roof of my truck to better position in the sun without moving my truck, I was wondering if that super thick 25lb commercial grade velcro would hold a solar panel to the roof of my truck while going down the highway? If so, I can charge things while driving, and when I get to location move the solar panel to be in sun.

Oh man, not sure I would trust velcro for holding a panel on your roof. That could get bad if that goes flying off!

I'm sure the velcro will hold but what of the adhesive holding the velcro? Especially in the heat.

You bring up a good point. The 3M tape that is usually used is crazy strong. I'm sure that isn't used on velcro.
