Looks like a nice clean installation.  <thumbs up>

These are quite large when hanging off the stern of your vessel but they seem to produce some power on days with clouds.

Thanks Tom. It is simple. It was hard to get the installer to follow our wishes. But he finally conceded to wrap the cord around the pole and run down davit arm. We felt it was less likely to get snagged on things. (He wanted it just have it hanging down to deck. 😬)
Hey you may beat us getting launched. Tango is still out on the hard. 😊. Eager to get her wet however. 

Best!

Lots of owners complain they won't add bimini's and solar panels hanging off because it destroys the lines of the boat... until they start cruising and living aboard full time. Then, the sun is relentless and you never have as much power as you need. I constructed a not-so-nice solar panel holder on ours but we fill our batteries everyday. We would never go cruising without a full bimini and lots of accompanied sun shading. Skin cancer protection and protection from the elements makes sailing so much more fun!

I agree. If you are on your boat for any long period of time shade is essential.

 

I have seen no wind days and 90 plus deg. heat, where I could not wait for the sun to set.  A friend installed a mister inside his bimini.  Amazing how it reduces the heat.
