    If they are really warm they are quite easy to roll up. But they are A LOT easier to roll up with 2 people.

    When you unroll them you need to let them get some sun or they won't stay flat.

    How well do these solar panels hold up to hail or high winds?

    We had hail a number of times with no damage. High wind issues are specific to how they are mounted and where. On the ground, then its just whether the wind can catch them from underneath. Mounted up on something is different. They ARE pretty durable though.
