Un-plugged!

Click to view full size imageIt’s 2pm and my batteries are in a float charge. A bit earlier I saw the controller putting 17.2 amps into my battery bank. What am I going to do with all this power besides get a refrigerator going?

I met a really nice cruising couple who want to trade me 2 50watt panels for some fiberglass repair. I’m really excited, I’ll have 500 watts, not 2 shabby!

As you can see my mount for the aft 2 panels is very simple. 2 pieces of stainless tube, 2 ends, a deck fitting, and a cane tip that goes in-between the panel and the tube. I can lower the panel flat to catch morning, or evening sun, WAHOOOOO!

I get the girls back 2day :)

Cheers.
