I bought two of the 20W amorphous panels on sale at Canadian Tire, and wired them to a Coleman controller belowdecks. They retail for $120, I got them on sale for $60 each. I figured they would be a good addition for charging while at anchor. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/SolarPorta

I installed a West Marine AIS-1000 on our C&C 44 in summer 2011 in preparation for our year long trip down the US east coast to the Caribbean and back. At the time the West Marine unit was significantly less expensive than other units, in some case less than half the price. It has worked flawlessly

I know that, Bill. I figured my batteries would last longer if I kept some form of charge going in; I wanted the panels to be a reasonable contributor of amps for the hassle involved, and they just didn't work that way.
