Going through our power requirements in preparation for the "big push"
It would seem as if solar is unreliable and can pack up after a few years, needing replacement. For this reason I don't want to be drilling holes through the deck and sikaflexing panels down only to be effing and blinding at them a few years later.
So, my thoughts are now to mount a couple of 100w flexible panels tied on the top of our bimini.
This way ( as I see it), there are no holes drilled in the deck, the panels can be moved if necessary, replaced with no damage to the boat if they go pear shaped.
The down sides are a loss in power over rigid panels.
Thoughts suggestions please?
