Since there is not much space on a sailboat I wonder if you could but a thin flexible or standard panel under the existing panel? Bifacial down side is they are bigger so per SQ FT they are not much advantage. Im sure the sun reflect off the water and any free power would be a bonus. Wonder if anyone has tried this or tested the idea? I guess a way to test would be turn the existing panles upside down and see the power they produce from the sun reflection off the water.

Like your set up, all looks good and totally agree, more panels. One point I noted, you don't have any protection in the form of lightning arrester surge protection on your panels. You might want to look into this, just a suggestion. You have some expensive kit there

quiet expensive, but as you conclude diesel engines would cost around the same and you would keep paying for fuel on those.

Thanks so much for making these informative videos. You do a great job explaining the process while making it pleasant to watch. I have a 40ft sailing cat in the Ssan Juan Islands and share your idea of the panels create the power, battery size is second to that. I'm just switching out my solar array for 550 watt bi facial panels, they are the largest output per sqft I've seen, plus they catch reflected light of the water on the undersides. I'm pretty sure I'd make terrible videos but I'd like to document how they perform over the summer.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had no idea it would be an achievable price! Do you have links to where you bought them stuff from? Thank you 🙏🏻

Super clear, thanks to you and your pup! Did the ePropulsion firm help you with your setup? I'm guessing warranty is void with non-OEM batteries?
