Solar Panels



In an effort to keep the house batteries charged up while at amchor, I've added two, 130W, solar panels on top of the bimini. They are rated at 8 amps each. So far I've seen 12 to 13 amps. I can now keep the refrigerator, freezer, stereo, fans etc. running all day without depleting the batteries (as long as the sun shines!). I'm considering adding a wind generator and perhaps a radar arch.
