The thought of adding solar to my boat has crossed my mind quite a bit, but there is really no good place to put them.
Then I thought, perhaps I could put one in place of my rear bilge hatch, which is roughly 24x24. Big enough for a 100 watt panel. Not enough to make a huge difference, but it would certainly help keep the starting battery topped up.
Anyone know how much abuse these things can take? Being on the rear of the back deck, you rarely ever fully stand on it, but it will get stepped on. I'm pretty sure that a rigid panel would break, but those semi-flexible ones may work.
If it does work out, more could be placed on the floor and on the front deck.
