[C320-list] Solar Panel Installation

[Warren Updike]

Has anyone installed a solar panel in place of the sea hood in front of the traveler? Our # 62 came from the factory configured for a solar panel in that place. There are even wires from under the sea hood through the fiberglass into the battery compartment where they are terminated in a wrap. The owner's manual has a diagram of how this can be done; but, I've never heard of anyone who has done it. Anyone out there?

I've followed Tim Grennan's photos regarding battery, regulator, and panel
installation and am ready to install the regulator and panel this June.
Have others installed a panel or two? What make and vendor have you used? Tim
