Re: Solar and shade

Hi Joerg, We installed 500W worth of panels on our bimini - 5 x 100W. We did not have the budget (or eye) for a solar arch. I designed the system such that each panel has its own charge controller. When not sailing, we bring the boom to one side, so only one panel (out of five) is shaded at any given time. In the Caribbean, we got 80+ Ah each day (@ 24V), which covered most *but not all* of our energy needs. In peak summer in Boston, we can stay on the hook indefinitely (many sunlight hours and less refrigeration power needed). kelly + ryan SM233 Iteration Boston
