Boy, are these solar panels big! We have them in the cockpit, in the stateroom and in the living area. They have already caused one “domestic disturbance” so, today I’ve been busy installing the rails that the outer panels will rotate on. The basic design is to have two of the panels bolted down to the top of the hard cockpit cover (the biminy) and the other two attached to the life lines. They outer ones will pivot upwards with adjustable supports. They will rotate around the lifelines on stainless steel tubes that ride over the lifelines. This will allow us to tilt the panels for a better angle to the sunshine. I’m not really sure if it will work but this is the third design and I think it's a keeper.
