Recently we bought two 405W Sunpower solar panels on our new Bimini.
Today we hooked them up to the batteries with incredible results.
The 3 x 325W array on the back of the boat was struggling with the introduction of a 60-litre freezer and icemaker, particularly on a cloudy day, but these extra panels face forward and are free of shading from the Bimini, so they have made an enormous difference with full charge now being achieved even on cloudy days.
Very interesting how they negotiate the charging duties throughout the day.
