60W Solar panels £199 at Maplin

Solar panels again, could I have 'real life' outputs?

I'm working out my power requirements and need to know what actual outputs from solar panels I can expect.

I'm looking at a 100w solar panel (a few people doing them on ebay around £220).

The cruising area will be Greece, I'm guessing 5-6 amps from it, in total how may amps can I expect to get from it in a typical day?

I'm proposing to mount it on a transom arch, can anyone tell me what I can reasonably expect?
Any help would be appreciated (as always!)

(I have done a search through the threads but opinions seem to be quite varied!)

How long does the sun shine? let's say 12Hrs How efficient is your panel and installation let's say you average 5A Then you are going to get 60Ahrs or someting in that order so expect 45 and be pleased with 70+

In summer you will get an average of about 45Ahrs. Winter is much more variable, but about 15 AHrs will be average
