[C320-list] Solar Charging

[Greg Flanagan]

I have GoPower with 140W panel mounted on my Bimini and a 30 amp regulator mounted on my wood faced panel forward of the electrical panel. Very easy to install the system (I can provide details if you like). I put it on 3 years ago and have cruised where there was little power for the last 3 summers. The Broughtens, the Sunshine Coast up into Princess Louisa Inlet and Puget  sound. It has been great, freeing me from docks and power. As I have all LED lights the fridge as you note is the main draw. The same panel has been growing in Wattage each year no is probably up to 200.
