In full sun, these panels will produce about 360 Watts of power. With one horse power being 746 Watts , that's a half a horse galloping up on the cabin top. In addition to this, I plan to balance this out with another 500W of wind power. Since the sun and the wind are still free, it's nice to know that once all the systems are in place, we'll be able to put frozen reverse osmosis water into a 12 volt blender and make margaritas in the 90 degree heat of the tropics.
These big panels will most likely be mounted on the cabin top......or.
It may be nice to create a slide mechanism that would allow them to articulate aft over the cockpit; similar to a bimini which could provide additional shade.

Hello, great site. I have just begun building a Kurt Hughes 45 in RI. I noticed you had a problem with your chainplates using RI and wanted to know if you discovered the cause of the problem.
