Re: [electricboats] Solar panel sale

Posted the link separately.  I have an 18' custom built (1934) launch that was converted to 48V electric by the second owner.  I am the 3rd owner, and my plan is to add the golf cart system to trickle charge.  When (not if) I put an Elco motor in, I'llprobably upgrade to the newer (higher Amp) system.  For now, the old system will allow me to gain experience.  

I hope you can find the sale page via the link.  I had reached out over a year ago to see if the charger would work on the boat, and the sales guy (Seth) has stayed in touch, which is how I found out about the sale.

Power Film Solar makes solar power kits for golf carts.  The panels and controllers are available for 36, 48 and 72 volt configurations.  Since I have a launch with a surrey top, I've been interested, but the price was a tad high (about $1000).  I was contacted yesterday that they've come out with a new product line that charges at a higher amperage and has more voltage from the panel.  The kicker is, they are selling old inventory for a huge discount.  The generic panel (48" x 36") was about $890.  It is now $199.  The controller is $99.  Too good to pass up, especially since yesterday the pane was discounted to $299.  Look up PowerFilm Solar. (No, I don't work for them or get a kickback). Just passing info on a good deal.
