Weight is also a reason for fitting the acrylic screens.
The screens weigh less than the glass and then the AC generator becomes redundant because of not requiring it to heat the screens. A 3rd inverter can be fitted as electrical backup if desired.

Total wieght saving in the region of 50-ish lbs. Not a lot but it helps in hot conditions.
