Re: [electricboats] Floating PV Hazard Potential?

Ryan, I believe, is suggesting a very practical perspective here.  Picture yourself out and caught in a squall.  Tiny lakes and rivers? You're maybe fine.  Personally, I've had to scramble at the damn _dock_ at times when I had equipment strewn around. You'll likely end up with a swamped dinghy too. On a nice day, I bet it works great.

You might check out what the US Army did:

LOL: “floatovoltaics.”

Also also, if you want even close to full life expectancy out of your panels, and I don't care what kind they are, immersing them is not going to improve life expectancy.  Rain is bad enough.

Fair winds and following seas mateys!
