Solar Panels for your Boat

I just uploaded a short article on how to install solar panels for your boat. The focus of this article is on small 100-200 watt panel systems that use MC4 cabling for installation and a low cost PWM controller.

So go to the Libraries tab in the upper right corner and click on Systems. Then download my article which is in Word format.

Let's use this thread for any comments and discussion on this article and in general about installing small solar systems on a boat.
