Hi All,
The really good, light, powerful, and flexible panels are currently
Solbian ones out of Italy. They can even be zippered into your
dodger or bimini. These are the good ones used by cruisers and
racers, and might be overkill if you are just looking at little auto
trickle chargers from China. The roll up panels sold by West Marine,
Defender, etc self destructed on the way to NZ - course that may have
been due to winds over 40 knots - big squalls. I think the zipper
solution may be a better way to go.
In Seattle, the guy to know is Brian at BRJ, www.brjsolutions.com
<br...@brjsolutions.com> 206-708-5157. He's one of the best
electrical/electronics outfitters in town, a good guy. I have no
connection - but we get our mail at the same great mail service,
Dockside Solutions, so I'm happy to "plug" both businesses.
Cheers, Lee
A couple of us are contemplating purchasing solar panels to act as
trickle chargers over the winter. One of our local retailers is
selling Coleman brand panels of various capacities and physical
sizes at reasonable prices. Has anyone any experience with the
Coleman product, other than the good old camp stove and lanterns?
Any other suggestions for good solar panels?
