We have 250w bifacial panels mounted on the guardrails. 2 on the portside and 2 on the starboard side so we effectively have a 500w panel on each side of the boat. Since we are in the Caribbean, we generally point eastward. The starboard panels are tilted towards the sun. In the last 27 days they have peaked at more than 500w on every single day accept one. Prior to that we were sailing across the Atlantic so the starboard panels were on the wrong side to see full sun. Pretty impressive performance.
