solar panel mounting

Submitted by frank barbehenn on Sun, 03/11/2007 - 16:39
I use an electric trolling motor for days when there is no wind. I have a Solarflat 15 by Brunton--a long hard flat panel of about 40 inches by 1 foot. Am trying to figure out how I can mount that on the boat when not sailing to re-charge the battery. I dry store the boat with Sailortailor cover on. Any bright ideas out there would be appreciated.

Hi Frank, Check with me at the Lake.

Hi Frank, Check with me at the Lake. You need a velcro support, stitched on the outside of your Cover (on the slope facing South), and the mating velcro glued to the back of the Solar Panel, and then run the wires under the cover to the battery! Better yet, have a picnic when there is no wind, and sail and have fun when the breeze arrives!! Mike.
