Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Parts List for Electric Conversion (48 volt solar panels)



Thanks to the replys on the 48 volt panels....   I have found one myself, the panels are only 60 watt panels but are smaller and easy to store in case of bad weather...   here is the link

The panels are $227.00 but as I said they are smaller and easily stored...   Dave K
