You'll also need a charge regulator. 80W = 12V x 6.66A, so you'll need one rated at more than that.
Something like this:

Polycrystalline panels are not as efficient as Monocrystalline, so you may want to look at those. I've just bought a 30W Mono panel from Sun Store, and it seems quite good quality (I'll find out what it's like for charging on Wednesday!). Out of interest, why are you going for a flexible one? You don't really want to bond it straight to the roof, as to get any sort of decent efficiency you need to be able to point the panel to the South. Cheers, Simon
