Yes, under the "Boat Info" tab "Owner Modifications" model "31" "Solar Panels" there is a short article and picture of my installation... mine are 85W.
For 180W I would install them fore and aft instead.
They've been there for four years now and have held well through all weather and have been left on in winter.
My boat is on a mooring and the fridge is on for all the nav season; I never plug in even when cruising.

Beneteau 37 PE Annapolis
I am looking at installing solar panels, considering two 140 watt panels. any recomendations appreciated from experience.

Taking delivery of 37PE this week. I am doing 2 x 100w flexible panels (Solbian) on aft Bimini (they will fit side by side, aft of
window). They have zippers to secure to Bimini & are very light weight. Should provide 11 amps (5.5 each). Let you
Know how they work.
