To say I was impressed would be an understatement.

Plug in a laptop and get a graph!<br /><br />Blueprints available. You know you want one.<br /><br />MP.MoominPapanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-41812701315704971742018-03-29T10:02:47.742+00:002018-03-29T10:02:47.742+00:00Hi Neill,
Brilliant new solar array you've p...Hi Neill, <br /><br />Brilliant new solar array you've put together. I do not regret the money I spent this past year on the new solar array for NBV. It has made a substantial difference replacing the one large house panel with two 165 Watt light panels and keeping the 100 watt small solar boat panel. <br /><br />Tim of OnBoard solar who did the installation told me we were not getting the max out of the large panel anyway because it was not set up for 12 volt. He also said the new generation panels, while still called l"solar" panels are really light panels and will generate power with the slightest bit of light, to which I can attest. Even in days of darkest overcast rain storms the panels filled my batteries. It is such a relief to have the system to rely on and not have to worry about charging the batteries and not having to run the engine twice a day. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing your new roof box. <br /><br />Love to you and Kath, <br /><br />Jaq xxx Mrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.com
