Hello all, Need to replace my batteries and am contemplating an upgrade to Windstar's off-the-dock power system. Specifically evauating a battery upgrade and potential top-up-charging.
Based on what I've read, a 100w panel would conservatively contribute 400-500w daily (average) in summer and be enough to help extend my "off the grid" time. I am on the North shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto area. Does anyone have any real-world data or experience with the actual charging capacity of a sailboat mounted solar panel? Would like to factor this into my decisions. Many thanks! Dave Windstar 33-2 https://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2019/09/going-off-grid-charging-and-battery.html
