I have never used the following, but have heard they work well.
Rotofast Panel Anchors

Another couple of options:

I have some fabric wrapped 703 panels that I hung with velcro. One side of the velcro, taped to the wall, attaches nicely to the fabric on the back of my panels. Not sure how much your panels weigh, however.

I had GIK wrap some 4" 703 with Guilford fabric. You can see them here Studio, behind and to the right of the desk.

(Quick off topic - which colour GOM is that? Cheers.)

It was something that Jeff Hedback chose for me--I don't recall but I'll search some back emails.

edit: found it. FR701 423 PUMICE

Here's a better picture. After I hung these with the velcro I screwed a long 2" x 2" stud along the bottom for support.

Yep that would be it!

Those Rotos look good, thanks Glenn.
I have seen it suggested to use Fibreglass resin to create hard little regions which will accept screws, bolts, rope, wire, etc.
Good for nice firm corners also.

so I'm going the Velcro way, I'd say a 2x4 panel is about 2lb.
did u use the adhesive Velcro or did u use ur own glue? and it's holding fine like that, no issues? I was thinning of using the adhesive kind and maybe staple it the wall for extra security...

These look awesome, has anyone had experience using Rotofast anchors??
Does anyone know what the brand is of the resin used on the back of fiberglass panels?

These are the basic impaling clips:
