I wouldn't recommend PVC for several reasons. The first is because of the appearance. Look at 10 year old shutters in residential areas. The plastic always looks weathered, brittle.
Still okay with engine running, it's a problem in winter with manual belt drive. If you put 3 square feet down too quickly, the slats will break quickly in sub-zero temperatures. If PVC, at least a 45mm slat, it is more stable. Aluminum is always a better alternative...
