Not huge difference. On roof installations benefit from greater air-flow behind the panels, hence run cooler, ergo more efficient. Most of the integrated stuff tends to be less efficient, looking pretty being more important than absolute performance, but there are quite a few ideas that use standard panels which work well, and sheer surface area can compensate for lack of performance. PV products are designed to be integral parts of the building they are part of, like shingles or wall panels for example. Solar panels used on RVs are are mounted on top or attach to the roof of an RV or are otherwise free standing arrays erected near one's RV.
