Yeah I have 100 watt panels that make 70 or 80 most of the time; those ratings are for "ideal conditions" which I take to mean "perfectly aligned, in space."
As to the rigidity: It is a little flexible, compared to glass and aluminum. I bet it's perfectly serviceable at smaller sizes, but when it's 7 feet (2.13 Celsius) long:

the damn thing sags under its own weight. They shouldn't be made this big. Those glass panels together have the same rating and they actually work worth a damn.
