Now that the outboard is done, battery bank hooked up and all works great, I need to look at extending the run time. Not liking using a generator, so perhaps panels would do that ?? I was thinking of one 48 volt controller, and maybe four decent sized panels on a " Bimini " type top. I have one top now, but could build anything to fit the panel size. if I could get 40 amps, that would be continuous power at cruise speed. That might be asking a lot at 48 volts, so maybe half of that would work ?? Batteries are now marine deep cycle lead acids.
What have others done with a reliable controller would be a good start. Maybe a brand to look for, or a place that could supply a system of panels and controller would also be helpful. I have done biz in China, so maybe there is a tested system some one has used ?? Flexible panels preferable for an arched top, but I could be tempted to build a flat top with stiff panels, as flat ones are mostly cheaper, higher output. Need the panels here first, to fit on any top design correctly.
Thanks, I would welcome any ideas on products to buy ---------- Cal
