Re: [Electric Boats] FW: Duffy....?

 

 
Flexible panels are cool and they have some nice advantages, plus 20% eff is awsome but if you're on a budget and can live wth nominal 14% eff. rigid panels they are down to about 75 cents a Watt and that's hard to beat if you can make them work in your application. Also check out www.Sunelec.com close by you in Miami for some good deals on PV. They are selling as low as 50 cents a Watt in bulk right now.

I installed these cells on my much larger boat.  They would be what I recommend for your Duffy, they use the most efficient cells on the market they bend to fit your roof, and the price is very good.   The only down side is the top mounted connectors are very hard to hide.   I used 1.5 inch finger ducts.

Hi from Fort Lauderdale.
I purchased a used Duffy Balboa a few weeks ago, bit it does not run,
working on having the controller tested, should know in a few days.
Has anybody fitted Solar Panels to their Duffys?
If so what size?
What is the current draw from the 48 Volt motor?
I have 8 golf cart batteries and the brochure talks about a 15 hr endurance,
sounds high, would that be with an optional larger bank of say 12 or 16
batteries?
Not much tech info on the Duffy site, looking for help from other owners.
Thanks
Dag
