The panels finally arrived today! We motored the Goose into the dock to fill the water tanks and as a bonus, we also loaded the panels onto the boat without having to carry them out in the dinghy. Right now, they’re sitting on the floor in the main living area (right in the way of everything) and I hope to start installing them tomorrow.
wow those are big, where did you buy & how many watts!
ReplyDeleteWe bought them at Arizon wind and sun ( http://store.solar-electric.com. )They are 135W panels and we got 4 of them. If they work at only 60% of output we won't have to run the engine any more to charge the batteries.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your way to becoming totally "Green"!
ReplyDeleteAnd as an added bonus you can write of the entire amount as a credit next year on your taxes!
(Keep that receipt!)
