Solar panels


 

Anyone have any pictures on where they mounted solar panels on there t27?


 

I do not have a photo. Mine, when I bought the boat was simply laid across the the stern pulpit. Works great.It Is ugly and limits acces to stern cleats etc.
I did see a boat in Marsh Harbor last summerthat had a good practical set up.
They were working on the assumption that the solar panels were for use at anchor. So there installation was not for under way.
They had 2 panels rigged with hooks on one long side and a folding support leg on the other.
They simply hung the panels on the life lines and angled them with the leg.
When it came time to sail the panels were stored.
For long term anchoring they left one panel on the port and one on starboard so to always have at least one good angle.
It looked a little odd at first. But the simplicity was appealing.
We spend alot of effort building permanent structures that add alot of windage. But unless long off shore passages are your norm, the panels are really an in port accessory.
It hadn't occurred to me until I saw it.
This is what I plan for mine. ?My only issue is the previous owner bought one really good large panel and it won't fit in any of the lockers...?


 

Hygelig has the same setup as the Marsh Harbor boat , with a panel hung on port and another on starboard.? A folding leg holds them out when in use.

Yea I'm planning on living on my boat over winter so gonna need some solar power but haven't figured out a practical way to moun them without taking away the looks or getting in the way.
