Re: [electricboats] Floating PV Hazard Potential?

This is only to charge batteries on a 19-foot, open, day-sailing type
sailboat. Mounting options for solar panels are limited and the possible
ones detract from the boat's form and function. This just becomes a
solar shore power in a sense. I do not want to wire the boat for typical
shore power chargers. This is in freshwater - no problems in use other
than the curious critters. Saltwater certainly could pose problems, but
maybe not a deal breaker.

There are large arrays in use and many more under development - mostly
in far east. Not much that I can find for small-scale. Here is MTU project:
